MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
I know many of you will be distracted by the school holidays when this newsletter arrives - some with the promise of a
holiday, and others counting the days until the kids can go back to class. For many, this will be their last term and a
rush to make some very big decisions. We're all aware that not enough of those decisions will lead towards the skills
that are most needed. Thankfully, programmes like Engineering Education-to-Employment (E2E) are being launched to
address that.
It's also a good time to think about how you can upskill your own staff and business. Again, there are some great
resources being made available, like the Open Access Labs and National Testing facilities. I'd encourage you to take
advantage of them.
One last note that our Exporters Survey will be closing in the next few days, so if you're an exporting manufacturer and
haven't shared your thoughts yet, have your say now.
