“Skills are a key part of our plan for economic recovery, and an urgent challenge. This country’s future can only be built by people who have the skills demanded by modern work in a globalised economy. Skilled people are more productive, they are more innovative, and they build stronger businesses. Skills give individuals wider options; they climb higher, earn more and get more work out. And skilled people are the foundation of successful businesses.” Lord Peter Mandelson, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills
