The City & Guilds group, based on regional labour market data and a poll of 5,000 working age people, have produced a report to explain the current impact of low investment levels in training and to quantify how many peoples’ contribution is being lost because they cannot access regular skills development.
Having just started a new decade and with 2020 looking likely to be very bit as transformational and unpredictable as the start of the 1920’s, it is quite possible we will see every aspect of our lives revolutionised by the changing political landscape and by technology advancing to an ever increasing speed. No place is this more evident than in the workplace.
Undertaking this research allows u sot understand the current impact of the low levels of investment in training in this country and in addition, to try to quantify how many people’s potential contribution to society is being squandered as a result of not having access to regular skills development. And the inevitable impact of that on social mobility.
