CCP Gransden Signs Composites UK Skills Pledge
CCP Gransden is pleased to announce that we have signed the Composites UK Skills Pledge, demonstrating our commitment to engage with our local education community and address the skills crisis in the UK composites sector. This initiative aligns with Composites UK’s efforts to attract new talent to the industry and retain those already working within it.
Our Pledge
On behalf of CCP Gransden, we pledge our support for the workforce development initiative set out in the Composites UK position paper on the skills crisis in the UK composites sector. We commit to working towards addressing these critical issues by taking the following actions:
1. Schools
We will engage with a minimum of two local schools each year through careers events and/or individual visits by members of our staff to talk with students about the opportunities in the UK composites industry.
2. Colleges
When appropriate for our business, we will work with other organisations in our region through Composites UK and its members to help develop a collaborative cohort of students for apprenticeship and/or T-level courses.
3. Upskilling
We will work with Composites UK to understand our future business skills requirements and identify any training needs as a result.
4. Good Practice
We will provide Composites UK with details of case studies of success for inclusion in good practice examples.
5. Review
To enable Composites UK to evaluate the effectiveness of this initiative, we will ensure that brief progress summaries are sent at 12-month intervals. These summaries will contribute to Composites UK’s ongoing efforts to keep the industry informed of overall progress in addressing these important issues.

Commitment to the Future
