A wide range of local organizations in Kent, U.K., came together recently to explore practical ways to collaborate in addressing current and future job vacancies while also tackling local skills shortages. Hosted at North Kent College’s Gravesend Campus, the event marked the official launch of the Kent & Medway Industry4Council. The event brought together employers, employer bodies and representatives from local authorities, colleges, universities and training providers. The Industry4Council unites employers from the construction, engineering, and manufacturing sectors, all of whom share a common goal: to recruit, train and upskill genuinely competent individuals who can help sustain, innovate and grow their businesses, creating wealth and opportunity across the region. This new partnership offers a practical forum for employers to collaborate with further and higher education institutions, as well as independent training providers. The Council will explore what can be achieved through coordinated collaboration, designed and led by employers, for employers.
