BP Collins still investing in training
BP Collins will continue to spend on training, despite the economic downturn, a senior manager has confirmed.

'[Training] is important, and I think it's important that it's not one of those things that is cut completely in difficult times', she said. Ms Symons went on: 'Our people are our assets, so it does have to continue'. -

Training still important to law firms, says expert
Law firms still understand the importance of training, graduate jobs seekers may be interested to hear.
At least this is according to Selwyn Blyth, Partner at Pinsent Masons, who claimed helping workers to acquire skills is 'more than just desirable', despite the economic environment.
What is perhaps different now is the push to justify the return on investment needed for training law workers, which is why pay-per-head public courses are becoming more and more popular, he suggested. -

Travel sector urged to retain employees
More needs to be done to ensure that young people working in the travel industry stay within the sector, it has been argued.
Brian Wisdom, Chief Executive of skills council People 1st, noted that efforts need to be made to ensure that workers - including those in graduate jobs - are retained.
He explained that companies should worry less about losing employees to other companies within the sector and place a greater emphasis on ensuring they do not leave for a different career altogether.
