Unite reaction to launch of banking apprenticeship scheme
8 February 2012
David Fleming, Unite national officer, said: “Unite welcomes the
launch of an apprenticeship programme aimed specifically at the
banking sector. There is no doubt that urgent action is needed to
improve the reputation of the financial services sector, Unite
hopes that such a professional training programme will help with
this.
“Staff across the sector will welcome the opportunity to improve
the skills in their organisation. As the trade union representing
employees across the industry, Unite is optimistic that employers
will view this as an opportunity to nurture talent in those
communities which have been particularly hard hit by the economic
crisis.”
