INDUSTRY YEAR 1986

Abstract

1986 has been designated Industry Year to assist in bringing about a change of understanding and attitudes towards industry, that it may be seen as a necessary service affecting the quality of life of every individual, and in order to change Britain's position from bottom of the major industrial league. Industry Year, with the full support of the government, CBI, TUC, BIM and the Engineering Council, will aim to improve awareness of industry's contribution to society, strengthen and add to the initiatives linking education and industry, and encourage industry itself to articulate its role more clearly. Objectives will be fulfilled through harnessing initiatives at local level, through regional working groups, local media, museums and schools. The success of the year will depend on action within industry itself and its component parts — the people and companies involved.
