South West Talent Retention Scheme
The South West RDA has approved a £1.7m investment to ensure
highly skilled experts from a number of industries are not lost due
to the recession. The investment will match talent to opportunity
for the aerospace, advanced engineering and creative/digital
industries.
The project is a specialist sector based redeployment service.
It will increase the chances of highly skilled and talented people,
who may be at risk of redundancy, finding alternative work or
training. At the same time it will help to retain their skills and
reduce the possibility of the region losing these key
individuals.
Advanced Engineering
The advanced engineering element of the project is now up and
running.
If you are an employer or an individual looking for support,
please see the South West Talent
Retention Scheme for the Advanced Engineering sector.
Creative Industries
The creative industries element of the project is now also up
and running.
If you are an employer or an individual looking for support,
please see the South West Talent
Retention Scheme for the Creative Industries sector.
