| Ambition 2020 challenges government and businesses to redouble their efforts to raise their ambitions and the nation’s skills to prevent the UK slipping behind international competitors over the next decade in jobs, productivity and competitiveness. |
Simply providing learners with “food labelling” style information about courses could free up more money for front-line learning and fund thousands more college places, according to our Skills, Jobs, Growth publication. |
The Convention brought together over 40 of the world’s leading employment and skills experts for a two day conference to help tackle the serious shortcomings of the UK’s competitiveness in the world economy.
