Panel - Hey, Teacher, DON’T leave them kids alone!!

There are constant complaints that there are not enough people coming into the industry these days. Easily blamed, still, on “Covid19” but never on the lack of education, formal or informal, but in reality that is where the problems lie. There is an accepted lack of formal education in CEE, which certain countries are doing their best to overcome, but it is also true in Western Europe. Informal education exists with a few wonderful apprenticeship schemes, nowhere near enough. What to do, well we can be honest about the situation first of all, then talk about the way forward.
