Oh thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
Richard Benham May 17, 2006:
I just noticed another problem. You can't say "in industry sector". If you mean industry as a whole, you could say "in *the* industry sector". If you mean various sectors of industry, then in would be "in industry *sectors*".
Richard Benham May 17, 2006:
None is correct. You can't use "facilitate" in this way. You need a verb like "assist". As to whether you use "to assist", "for assisting", etc., it rather depends what you want to say. Just "assisting" would probably work best here.

to assist/support

agree with Richard's comments and I would suggest either of these options
Peer comment(s):
agree Richard Benham : I don't think "to" is wrong, but it seems a bit abrupt. That's why I suggested "assisting".
