WAMITAB – the leading authority in qualifications for the waste and resource management sectors – is continuing its commitment to improving industry standards by launching the ‘Skills Village’ initiative at RWM 2013.

The WAMITAB Skills Village brings together leading experts in training, consultancy and qualifications to offer guidance on a broad skills-related agenda – tackling subjects such as apprenticeships, funding, online learning, technical competence, and much more.

Experts from WAMITAB, SWRAC, SERAC, ENTAC, CMK and Smart Development will be on hand to answer any training or skills-related questions, and will be speaking on the following subjects:

• Entry into the sector – apprenticeships and flexible qualifications
• Competent personnel – why and how?
• Leadership and lean management
• Getting the most out of funding
• Winning business and staying safe
• ADR and bespoke driver CPC solutions
