Abstract:

The UK government published the National Skills Strategy in November 2009 setting out the active skills approach to equip the UK’s workforce for globalisation and to compete in the industries of the future. This paper sets out the evidence that has informed development of the strategy; the importance of skills in the global economy; progress towards ambitions for skills attainment; the role for government; and the performance of current policies.
