Building business success through investment in skills
This project is central to the UK Commission’s ambition to transform the UK’s approach to investing in the skills of our people. It outlines the performance challenges faced in the sectors, the ‘real-life’ skills solutions implemented by leading and successful businesses to overcome them, and the benefits from doing so
This project is a call for employers to invest in skills and raise performance backed by examples of best practice and the UK Commission has investment funds which it is using to make this happen.
Nine sectors have been investigated and are important for a range of reasons. All are economically significant in terms of employment and/or productivity and their role within the economy. Some exhibit real ambition to tackle the skills deficits that hold them back. Others include new and emerging areas of the economy that offer huge potential for future growth.
For each sector an evidence report and (summary) information pack is provided. The information packs are intended to be an evolving resource updated as necessary to reflect changing conditions and challenges in each sector. They are a starting point for engaging intermediaries and employers in each sector. The reports provide the detailed evidence in support of each information pack.
