The CBI today commented on the expansion of the Government’s See Inside Manufacturing initiative to seven new sectors.

Katja Hall, CBI Chief Policy Director, said:

“All of these sectors have identified skills shortages as a major challenge.

“Expanding this initiative will allow more businesses to engage with young people and promote the careers available to them in the UK’s world-class manufacturing sectors.”
