Sara Caplan, Associate Partner at KPMG who advises on skills and education comments on the Government’s long awaited assessment of the Leitch review published today.
KPMG believes that British companies need look at the current economic slide as an opportunity to support the right skills training if they are to survive the looming recession. KPMG says that in the last recession, the companies who grew most quickly and survived were the ones that continued to plug their skills gaps.
Sara commented:
“Britain has a long way to go to ensuring that we have an adequately qualified workforce for our future economic and business needs. Our continued investment in skills – now more than ever – is absolutely vital. I learnt in the last recession that it was the smart companies, those who had continued to plug their skills gaps, who survived the recession and grew more quickly”
