If there is a world wide shortage of Engineers where will facilities find these engineers and how can they be trained to the required level? This paper discusses these issues by looking at the growth of demand for engineers within light sources, the evidence of shortages of engineers, the changes in attitudes to work by younger people, the skills necessary, training opportunities and the issues in attracting people into the light sources industry. The paper will also outline the training week for early career engineers delivered at Diamond.
