The Sector Advisory Boards were established by Skillfast-UK following the Leitch Review which acknowledges the skills issues that employers have faced for some time, and confirms that, through Sector Skills Councils, employers are now in the driving seat to shape and deliver the changes needed.
Viki Wittering said: “I am delighted to be one of the founding members of the Sector Advisory Board for the design. It's very exciting to be given this opportunity to work with other like-minded individuals and companies to work to improve the education and skills system for the future benefit of the industry.”
Jimmy Choo added: “At Jimmy Choo Couture we pride ourselves in creating the most exclusive and glamorous shoes but it doesn't mean that we are any less affected by wider industry issues. We are pleased to be part of this group and we look forward to working with the other board members.”
