Careers:TRAINING

“We need a nation of well‐trained fully informed and motivated people — in other words educated”, said John Egan, Chairman and Chief Executive of Jaguar. He was speaking to more than 200 senior and chief executives at the Engineering Industry Training Board's (EITB) conference, The Winning Margin, in late March. They had come to hear three speakers from West Germany, Japan and the USA describe their methods of developing human resources to achieve competitive success, and also to learn about British success stories. The theme of the conference was that, although the UK is lagging behind other countries, it can catch up, provided we invest in education, training and developing people.
