TEES SKILLS
Read all about it- students at Stockton Sixth Form College reading their copies of the launch edition of Tees Skills.
A MESSAGE THAT HITS HOME!
Grant Glendinning, chief executive and group principal, Education Training Collective
“ Tees Skills is a fantastic addition to the resources available for young people in our area. It’ s so important those aged between 14 and 18 recognise the future opportunities and potential careers available to them, right here on their doorstep.
“ The Tees Valley has such potential for building meaningful careers in engineering, life sciences and green technology, while opportunities in health and professional services have never been more exciting.
“ Tees Skills offers a great platform to let young readers know that if they choose to study, train and work here in the Tees Valley, they too can be part of the area’ s development and success.”
Bill Scott, CEO, Wilton Group
“ It’ s so important that the skills agenda is raised. There’ s been so much talk about a skills shortage for so many years that people don’ t realise we’ re actually in that shortage right now.
“ So, there’ s never been a more important time to raise its profile like Tees Skills is doing with this event and this magazine, to show the requirement and demand for skills.”
Target audience- Grangefield School pupils were among the 10,000 readership of the launch edition of Tees Skills.
Angela Turley, head of marketing, AV Dawson
“ Tees Skills looks brilliant. You can see there’ s a more youthful approach to the design. We need it to promote opportunity to the next generation. Without them, what does the future hold?
“ But they’ ve got to understand that the jobs are here. Kids need proof, they need to see, touch and feel it, so Tees Skills is really important. It’ s so important to show young people and their parents what the opportunities are on Teesside. Tees Skills gives that platform to allow young people to see what jobs they could do in the future.”
10,000 copies of the launch issue of Tees Skills were produced, with 2,000 distributed across the region’ s businesses and 8,000 circulated to young people and their parents via Teesside University, colleges, schools and trusts.
