The Post-16 White Paper: Potential for Businesses
Last week's white paper arrives as Make UK's latest research reveals that three-quarters of manufacturers face difficulties in filling vacancies due to skills shortages.
The white paper's diagnosis of the post-16 education and skills system in England is largely accurate and relatable to manufacturers, echoing the industrial strategy published earlier in the year.
Key commitments include funding for further education, investment in equipment, and initiatives like an industry workforce exchange to enhance teacher recruitment and retention, addressing challenges businesses encounter when sourcing local training.
A notable statement emphasizes that public investment, including the growth and skills levy, should be tied to the eight growth-driving sectors of the industrial strategy, potentially leading to a significant increase in apprenticeship training.
