The Role of Business in the Skills Agenda

Authored by Peter Cheese, Chief Executive Officer, CIPD

The challenge of building the right skills in workforces has always been one of the top strategic priorities for governments around the world. Globalisation has brought home that one of the most critical long-term drivers of a nation’s economic success will be the skills of its workforce. Since businesses now have more choice and opportunity to access talent across the globe, what can be done to ensure that the skills needed are present in the population?

In this article, Peter Cheese, considers where the onus for the skills agenda falls– is it business, education, the public sector or a combination? Peter is supported by comments from Gary Kildare, Charlie Mayfield, Lord Francis Stafford, David Turner, Paul Walsh and Eric Weber
