Engineering 'skills gap' looms for United Kingdom

摘要

A perception in the United Kingdom that engineering is a "dirty word" must change, according to a new report from the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science, and Technology (IMarEST) and the UK-based engineering recruitment agency Matchtech. The report, 'Mitigating the skills gap in the maritime and offshore oil and gas market', makes 16 key recommendations aimed at "all sections of the industry - professional bodies, the engineering community, the maritime and offshore oil and gas community, university faculties, HE providers, training providers, the media, and government".
