Who gets trained?
The energy and utilities sector is more likely to provide training for process plant and machine operatives (85.9%) than the England average (71%). This highlights and reinforces the technical nature of many of the occupations contained within the sector.
Training for process, plant and machine operatives is high because there is a drive for competent operators that is partly driven by the quality regulators through due diligence.
It is noted that professional occupations are less likely than the average to receive training. This may be an indication that recruitment is based on individuals possessing the qualifications prior to undertaking their contract of employment.
