News about the Level 3 qualification to become the minimum requirement for all new Qualified Supervisor applications was published in a recent VoltiTECH and received one of the biggest user responses ever seen on Voltimum. The views expressed were clear - many users have little faith in existing standards and cannot see how the new requirements will help. Be sure to read the letters that were sent in addressing this issue.

Voltimum was out and about at the recent JTL Apprentice Awards, interviewing nominees and their employers and filming this exciting celebratory event that took place at the Tower of London. Be sure to watch video coverage of the event and see who was crowned JTL's Apprentice of the Year.
