It reflects the key findings and implications of our Ambition 2020: World Class Skills and Jobs for the UK, published in April 2009. It will be supported by the detailed programme of work contained in our annual Business Plan.

Our five year strategy has been developed in the context of a global recession that may be the deepest in 75 years. The impact on the economy and society will be far-reaching. To secure economic renewal – to emerge from the recession stronger, more adaptable, more competitive – will demand bold and concerted action across all sectors. Our strategy, therefore, must focus not only on how to survive the recession, but on how we will thrive in the years ahead. We recognise and endorse the determination of the UK governments to create strong and sustainable economies built on world-class skills set out in the national skills strategies in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and, most recently, in the British and English publications such as Work Skills and New Industry and New Jobs.
