Chief Minister Terry Le Sueur
BUSINESSES will need to invest more money in training their staff if Jersey is to generate business opportunities from overseas markets, according to the Chief Minister.
Senator Terry Le Sueur says that the Island’s fortunes are ‘irrevocably linked’ to the global economy, which means that relationships with wider markets must be established.
To do this, he said, there must be more emphasis on training the Island’s workforce over the next decade to grow the expertise needed to compete with the rest of the world.
Speaking at the Institute of Directors December lunch on Tuesday, Senator Le Sueur said that there was scope to tailor training to meet the needs of the Island’s economy.

In fairness, I feel that local firms have been investing in staff for a number of years. I have never worked in a bank or trust firm, but all of my employers have been very happy to support me with professional qualifications. It’s all a matter of asking…
And # 5 reggio – what could be done to help the Jesey Telecoms staff, as has been said before JT is the victim of it’s own sucsess, the only people that are to blame are the fat cats who ran the company during it’s boom times, charging what they wanted. Short of pumping taxpayers money into JT to keep the staff on I see option and if this did happen then you would be screeming foul!!
