Exeter College and Exeter International Airport
17.02.09
The Employer Engagement team have been working closely with Exeter International Airport over recent months. On 22nd January 2009 Jamie Christon, the Managing Director of the Airport, signed the Skills Pledge. The event attracted media interest and two radio interviews.
The Skills Pledge is a voluntary public commitment, made by a business, to support all its employees to develop their basic skills, including literacy and numeracy, to at least NVQ Level 2.
Exeter Airport is amongst the first Airports in the UK to sign the Skills Pledge and has drawn much interest from other Airports around the country. The Employer Engagement team are now working with their colleagues in the College to undertake the Skills Survey of all the airport staff. This is the prelude to commencing delivery of approximately 250 NVQs, across several sectors, during the rest of this year.
