As a training business, we need confidence in how the metrology and measurement skills landscape is changing, particularly in a post COVID context with the restart of economic activity and the 'new normal'. A clear understanding is required of who our future users are (by occupational role, organisation type, industry sector), the types of next-generation skills products they need and industry commitment to purchase training. The purpose is to support the NPL skills growth strategy; we would like to move from a position of "we think" to "we know" in relation to our customers. NPL is in the process of implementing a 5 Year Skills Strategy that includes a number of recommendations to support NPL's ability to increase its impact in the UK.
