Advisory Groups

In November our first successful employer and consortia advisory groups meeting was well received by all parties, with everyone having the opportunity to provide valuable input in key areas as well as networking with new consortia and employers. One employer, Alison Keate of Q-Hotels said: “It was both enlightening and enjoyable, It is the first meeting I have been to where we are able to talk to the people in education – very useful and I believe that we, as employers, can offer support in so many ways.”

If you would like to get involved with our future advisory groups then it’s still not too late. Our next meeting will be held on 8 December 2009. To find out more, or access the Terms of Reference, please contact Stephanie Jolly at Stephanie.jolly@people1st.co.uk
