In a way... no differently. You want to gain skills... you go and do a course or get trained by whoever offers these skills. ( it is also highly unlikely that every company will have every skillset in house) - I recently taught penmap survey basics in one company. to a level where they were now competent ( I saw the results
) Up here in Scotland, we are running courses ranging from topo survey to dendrochronology - all fully booked up. Accreditation is going to be the main thing to be solved. Not making it difficult ( like the ill fated NVQ scheme) but easy to be accredited for skills and ensure that quality is maintained. This reminds me... WE have a meeting soon about the next step. but are just about to complete the feedback on the original version. there are several alterations and comments that will help.
