Understanding and Engaging with the National Assembly for Wales - Business Sector Workshop

In June 2014 representatives from two businesses in Wales attended a workshop in the Senedd, Cardiff Bay. The day included an opportunity for participants to learn about the National Assembly for Wales, how it represents the people of Wales, makes laws for Wales and holds the Welsh Government to account. Participants also viewed the Enterprise and Business Committee meeting in the Senedd where the Committee were discussing their inquiry into Science, Technology and Engineering (STEM) skills. Before lunch the group received a tour of the Senedd. Over lunch the participants networked with members of the Enterprise and Business Committee and discussed current issues relating to business in Wales. The day culminated with a discussion on the structure of the Committee Service in the National Assembly and how participants could become more involved in the work of committees in the future. Tony Knowles, VP for Global HR at SPTS Technologies took the time to tell us what he thought of the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta4hvZGDIdo If you would like some more information about the workshop programmes we provide, and the ways in which you can get involved please contact us on: outreachteam@wales.gov.uk or 0845 010 5500
