I see around the net that recruitment has taken a welcome upturn and it reminds me that the UK is a fount of creativity in STEM subjects which deserves nurturing by the older more experienced people in industry. Unfortunately, each time we have a recession industry loses its older more experienced people, who are the very ones with the knowledge and experience needed to pull us out of the situation.

So I wonder how can we address this loss of cultural capital? Has anybody out there got any innovative ideas about how we can tap into this knowledge so as to speed up recovery?
