Group Activity Level

Tracy Wotherspoon
Hi all,

I have been in this group for many years but the level of discussion is quite low. I think this is the case with many IET communities.


My question is how can we as a group engage more from a technical and academics level?


Engineers are in short supply indeed the company I work for is looking for 3 electronics engineers an 2 technicians we engage more


thanks

    Hi Tracy,


    You ask a good question. I know nothing of the IET so, in search of aspiring software programmers, we've been reaching out to Government agencies such as http://www.workways.wales/


    We've also been liasing with http://www.careerswales.com/ to give presentations at schools and colleges to let the next generation of job seekers know there is a demand for skilled engineers.


    In general, we're trying to enthuse people to pick up skills as we realise it's a long term game without a short term solution.


    There definitely needs to be more in place to encourage technical skills in South Wales. For as employers, we don't really know where to look!


    It'd be good to hear of any further ideas from others.


    Cheers,


    Steve.
