SKILLS MATTER: The Route to Growth!

The EEF, in their report 'The Route to Growth'. outline a framework for what they want our economy to look like, and argues that we need a strategy for how we get there.



The strategy should start with;
1. Creating the right structures in government to deliver growth.
2. Supporting business investment through the tax system.
3. A clearer route to help business access government finance interventions.
4. Getting growth capital to the supply chain.
5. Structural reforms to boost banking competition.
6. A cost-effective focus on energy reforms.
7. Cutting the burden of regulation.
8. Supporting industry by embedding the new approach to public procurement.
9. Investing in modern infrastructure.

and, critical for those of us involved in education, learning and training,

10. Developing a responsive and well-resourced skills system.
