Missed any of our campaign coverage?

ICIS Chemical Business is now half way through its year-long education and recruitment campaign. Thanks to everyone who has so far offered feedback and support for this very important initiative!

The chemical sector urgently needs to attract top young talent and must pull out all the stops to lure the best graduates. Vacancies must be filled in a multitude of fields to help the sector thrive in the future, especially now after one of the toughest economic downturns in history. But what is the industry doing about it?

The campaign has received widespread support from leading market players and trade associations, including the Association of Petrochemicals Producers in Europe, the UK's Chemical Business Association, the US-based Chemical Heritage Foundation and France's Societe de Chimie Industrielle.
