TESTIMONIALS
Kate Houlden MD
Like Technologies
When I first met Deborah a couple of years ago when she worked on a project aimed at linking business to education. It was immediately obvious that Deborah’s knowledge and commitment to addressing the skills gap in engineering and promote this sector to students choosing their career options, was something we were keen to embrace.
Deborah is an active supporter of Like Technologies and the Electech Innovation Cluster, of which we are members. She shows real commitment to keeping her knowledge of the local labour market in electronics up to date and we value her contributions at meetings. We also like Deborah’s ability to ‘think outside the box’. We would not hesitate to use or recommend her services.
Chris Mayne MD
Forsberg Services Ltd
Deborah has provided excellent support to Forsberg over the past two years. Her proactive approach and dedication have helped our company engage with the local talent pool, and aligned with our objectives to help shape curriculum to industry. Key highlights include her industry engagement, skills gap analysis, and commitment to connecting students with local businesses.
Deborah’s passion for supporting SMEs and building collaborative networks has made a lasting impression, and students under Deborah’s wing strongly benefit from her work. Her impact extends beyond Forsberg, benefiting the entire community.
