UK Skills Chief Executive, Jacqui Henderson CBE, congratulated the finalists, saying that they displayed qualities of entrepreneurship that UK plc could learn from. "Each finalist has considered where they want to be in the future. They've taken a well-calculated risk to invest in specific training aimed at moving them on to a better position than they were in before, either as an organisation or an individual. This has brought them opportunities and substantial returns." "We need more employers and employees to take that risk for their company or for themselves. Here at UK Skills we have put our money where our mouth is and signed the government's skills pledge to train our staff to NVQ Level 3." "Training is the responsibility of all of us whether we're running our own business, an employee or in charge of a large corporation." There are 187 finalists in this year's awards. Winners will be announced at a series of ceremonies held throughout the UK between September and November. National winners will then be celebrated at a UK gala ceremony held in London's Royal Lancaster Hotel on Thursday 13 December. For more information on the awards visit www.nationaltrainingawards.com.
