FIRMS in the region stand ready to support ambitious changes to the education system to help young people get ready for work. That’s the view of a business leader with a unique insight into the world of work and education. Corin Crane is the chief executive of the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, which also includes Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber Training, based in Coventry, and PTP Training, which has centres across the Midlands. “So, we welcome this focus on practical, vocational skills being built into young people’s curriculum at this earlier stage. “In every conversation I’ve had, businesses have been enthusiastic about supporting young people get ready for the world of work in any way they can and that will certainly be the case with this policy.”
