learndirect recently published an investigation of UK skills and, in particular, skills development in young people. The report, Nurturing talent: building the workforce of the future, focused on: individuals in the 16-24 year old age bracket; the attitudes of employers towards employing these people; and the role of apprenticeships in developing the skills they need.
In The new vocational currency: investing for success learndirect specifically looks at the development of skills at an intermediate level and the value of intermediate (levels 3 and 4) vocational qualifications to both individuals and employers, as well as shining a spotlight on one area of skills where it has been suggested the UK lacks behind competitor economies – leadership and management.
