Scottish Branch Technical Meeting and AGM
Workforce training and skills
ICME Scottish Branch technical meeting and AGM
The AGM of the Scottish Branch of ICME took place in April when the incoming president and senior vice president were elected, Dr Tom Paterson as president and John Paterson as senior vice president. The financial statement was presented and accepted by those present.
Ian Young, immediate past president introduced the speaker Elizabeth Bonfield, Managing Director of MetSkills who spoke about ‘Workforce training and skills’.
Elizabeth gave a short presentation on the work being carried out by MetSkills. The meeting went on to debate the problems associated with skill shortages and the lack of commitment from some young people.
