It was great to catch up with Gareth and Paul from In-Comm, alongside Sarah and Jan from the Black Country Chamber of Commerce in Aldridge.
We discussed a number of issues, such as the significance of manufacturing, which is a vital sector in my Aldridge-Brownhills Constituency. Additionally, we addressed the concern that many young individuals today are not adequately prepared for the workforce, highlighting the importance of apprenticeships to equip them for employment.
We also talked about the necessity of bridging the skills gap while considering the future gaps that may arise, exploring strategies to ensure their success.
I remain committed to supporting our local businesses in Aldridge-Brownhills and look forward to working closely with the Black Country Chamber of Commerce.
