3. Organizational demands (tips for companies)

Introduction

In today’s competitive world, the industry needs more people in the workplace with higher level skills. Many
employers that support learning and development for their staff have a more skilled, motivated and loyal
workforce. All companies need well qualified employee – skilled workers.

For companies that depend on having people with the right skills and qualifications – particularly in
technology and engineering – this is especially important. One way to remain competitive is to have a
roadmap adapted to focus on the recruitment, development and retention of a skilled and adaptable
workforce as part of a strategic planning process. This can be done simply and support is available from
local training and education providers.

We believe that quality attracts more learners to vocational training, and all this must be seen against the
background of the large-scale recruitment needs in the industry. The following chapters provide tips for
organisational demands, general tips for work-based learning and the opportunity to compare and reflect on
how small and medium size companies can benefit from strategic workforce planning.
