Further to the successful launch of the BDIA 35 under 35 programme, the BDIA has continued its commitment to education by seeking to develop a sector wide approach to skills development.
Several strands of work are being explored, including the setting up of a new Sector Skills Board, Production of a comprehensive Sector Skills Plan and the development of a suite of dental engineering training modules.
We are now seeking the support and views of members to explore these ideas and find out more about the critical areas for you.
In the meantime, we kindly ask you to complete a short survey to help us better understand the current landscape and needs across our sector by Friday 24 February – https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LT7SJC9
