Skills Academy Chief Executive Finds Cross-Party Support |
Milton Keynes (UK), March 2013 - In the run-up to last week’s National
Apprenticeship Week, Peter Sherry, chief executive of the National Skills
Academy for Logistics, wrote to around 650 MPs to highlight the importance
of apprenticeships and pre-employment training. "The goal", says Sherry,
"was to arrange as many meetings with MPs as possible. MPs are busy, busy
people, and although this is an important issue, I didn't feel that all of
them would be aware of how we can help people in their constituencies. So
although this is a massive task, it’s also a vital one."
