SWITCH Forum has been closing out their year-end activities. We are delighted to have successfully delivered a high quality and well received course for supervisor and team leaders and module 1 is soon to finish but the follow-on module 2 is scheduled for next couple of months. We are also putting finishing touches to our short videos clips highlighting the impacts and dangers of violence and aggression against employees in the resources and waste sector.
We have been planning our new webinar program and hope to be covering issues such as impacts of accidents and incidents on companies and their staff, safe maintenance of plant and equipment, use of digital technologies to engage staff and manage risk around health and safety dangers around operational sites and the importance of continued learning and development of training support to assist workers throughout their careers.
We will be fully engaged with Skills Development Scotland on updating and developing the modern apprenticeship (MA) for the sector. MA play a key role in pour sector, but we need to ensure they are well designed, supported the correct way and attractive to apprentices, employers and trainers to ensure their success.
We are always looking for volunteers to assist and help with tasks throughout the year. SWITCH Forum is also dependent on third party funding, and we are willing to enter discussions with any organisation who may wish to support or sponsor work streams within SWITCH. Finally, we would like to thanks those who have supported us to date and look forward to welcoming new SWITCH members throughout 2023. If you believe that someone would benefit from the materials and support that SWITCH provides, then simply encourage them to go to the website and sign up for free.
