“The Welsh Baccalaureate at last seems to offer the right mix that employers have been waiting for – developing ‘ready made employees’ with the appropriate knowledge, skills and attitude to make an immediate difference on entering the workplace.” Roger Evans, Plant Director, INA Bearings, Schaeffler UK

“ I wish our young recruits had had this years ago. It’s just what they – and we – need.” Karen Murray, Manager, East Park Centre

“ The Welsh Baccalaureate bridges the gap between education and the world of work; it’s great to see young people developing more practical skills along with the theoretical skills. This will enable new employees to hit the ground running.” Grant Jones, Head of Human Resources, Perkin Elmer Ltd

“ I saw evidence of a number of the employability skills that employers have asked for being developed through the Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification. Finding time in the curriculum to provide a wider course of study and develop research and presentation skills has to be a good thing, and it is right that this is accredited and a qualification awarded.” David Rosser, Director of the CBI in Wales
