Low levels of digital literacy among staff is a challenge facing many manufacturing businesses, and strengthening those skills is not only essential to meet rapid technological changes in the workplace, it’s vital to increasing productivity.

Competenz has recently launched a new micro-credential to improve the level of digital literacy in the manufacturing sector.

"With an aging workforce it’s imperative we enable companies to keep their tradesmen and craftsmen,” says Jahn Vannisselroy, Competenz Sector Manager. “This micro-credential, which we can tailor to a specific company, is giving people the confidence to meet technology head-on.”

The qualification is fully funded under the government’s Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF) for employers who enrol their staff before 31 December 2022.

11) If required, will you go to court for me and what is your success rate?
PPM answer: We will go to court for you for free but this very rarely happens as we are very picky when choosing the right tenants for the property and normally have a good relationship with each tenancy.

12) Are you happy with your property manager?
PPM answer: If you already have a property manager and are not sure if they are doing the best for you or your property then I would be happy to sit down and walk you through how we are different from other companies. Also please check out our reviews on google for an idea of the service we provide.

Last one in the series - I hope this has helped when choosing a property manager. For any questions please call Andrew on 0274888933

WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT ME
"Hi there my name is Poe and I am a great pup looking for my forever home. I have not had the best start to life so would love a home that understands my quirks and is keen to help me through them. A home that has the patience and time to help me be the best companion I know I can be. I am super social so I could go a home with another playful dog that loves having a good tumble. I am not suited to a home with young children so would love a home with teenagers, who are keen to teach me new things and take me on adventures. Puppy school is something I am looking forward with my new family, learning things and making new friends. I do come with a medical waiver that my new home would need to be aware of. If you think you are the home for me please contact the canine team for more information."
