Extract

It has become a truism that the introduction of modern technology requires new skills from both management and workforce. Yet recent reports confirm that the supply of trained manpower is failing to match present and future demand. Government action may be required, but more important is the need to promote greater liaison between higher education and industry, and to move - at craft and technician level - to a standard of training already being achieved by our competitors overseas. To accomplish these objectives requires a change in our attitude to education and training.
