ALT A headshot of Dr Hayaatun Sillem CBE with the quote: “We are delighted to see the announcement of new skills packages for tech, engineering and defence, recognising that the Industrial Strategy’s objectives simply cannot be delivered without a significant boost to investment in our engineering and tech talent base. These packages provide a much-needed opportunity for government to take a holistic view of the rapidly changing skills landscape, and to work with partners across industry and professional bodies to make sure the UK tackles its longstanding skills and diversity deficits in these crucial areas. “The Royal Academy of Engineering looks forward to supporting government in taking forward these recommendations, including through our new Skills Centre."
