So what's going wrong with the Jubilee line?
On Apr 20, 7:39*pm, Paul Terry wrote: In message , writes Are there any competant engineers left in this country? Very few, and many of them are due to retire. There is an enormous shortage of engineers in the UK, mostly due to the under-funding of Further Education and government policies to encourage youngsters to take degrees in subjects such as tourism or media studies. What the country needs is technicians (not graduates) in engineering, but it is becoming increasingly difficult even to recruit them from abroad, as countries such as Germany are having similar problems. I know there is this and that out there, but from the outside there often appears to be scant pathways into engineering - I'm thinking about the likes of accessible apprenticeships for youngsters who'd love to get stuck in to such a career but just don't have any way in. |
