Nations Director IoD Scotland | Passionate about Inclusion, Diversity and Purposeful Leadership | Supporting Scotland’s Business Leaders on all things Good Governance | National Suicide Prevention Advisory Group Member
The skills gap is an issue that continues to affect our members, so it is encouraging to hear the government commit to skills development for young people entering the workforce. As we look towards national growth, having this commitment, alongside support for innovation and entrepreneurs, will help provide better opportunities for growing businesses, all fostered by a stronger working relationship between business and government. Creating a Scottish economy that works for all regions and geographies will facilitate a stable operating environment as we progress with the energy transition and capitalise on new growth opportunities. IoD Scotland will work with the Scottish Government to help make this vision a reality for our members. #ConnectingLeaders #VisibleLeadership
