The recent FINTO report Skills for Scottish Furniture Industry makes for sme interesting reading. Follow http://www.ffinto.org/scottish-esf-projects.php for a copy. The distillation of all of this information produced three objectives: To have skilled employees trained to a recognised standard by creating centres of excellence and increasing access to the industry. To have a common marketing strategy led by the industry using a Scottish brand to promote the industry worldwide. To increase the engagement of stakeholders to support all aspects of achieving the overall aim. Sounds familiar ?
