As a member of the Industry Advisory Board, I represent the interests of the regional skilled trades sector and would like to play an active role in shaping the economic framework. Serving on the Industry Advisory Board gives me the opportunity to bring the perspectives of the skilled trades sector into strategic decisions and thus provide practical impetus for the economic development of our region. It is important to strengthen the connection between traditional skilled trades and innovative industrial processes.
