Global skills

This report provides an overview of the debates, policy initiatives and practice relevant to global skills, and makes suggestions as to potential priority areas for further work. It recognises that there are a number of interpretations as to what could be meant by global skills, such as skills in the era of globalisation, exporting of skills to elsewhere in the world, skills to more effectively compete and skills for international development. The report comes to the conclusion that there is a need within the further education and training sector to implement a framework that equips the UK workforce to make sense of the global society, with the appropriate skills to be active participants in the global society and economy of the 21st century.
