HAWORTH Station on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway was the ‘birthplace’ of a scheme that is now striving to address a future skills shortage.
Hands-on trades probably haven’t been as enthusiastically pursued in recent years as computers and technology.
Identifying the potential problem for traditional industries such as engineering, increasing emphasis has been placed on apprenticeships.
And it was from Haworth that the idea for the Boiler & Engineering Skills Training Trust (Bestt) emanated.
