Abstract
I am pleased to be introducing our fifth Skills in England.
This is the annual skills assessment, carried out by the Learning and Skills Council on behalf of ourselves and our key partners. It is designed to complement the key government publications in the skills arena, including the Leitch Review of Skills and the Freud Report.
Skills in England 2007 emphasises that, while globalisation provides
many economic opportunities, understanding the phenomenon is increasingly crucial in order to appreciate any potential threats to lowskilled jobs and to those people with such jobs.
With increasing international competition, not least from
the rapidly developing economies in Asia, it is important that, to remaincompetitive, England produces high value added goods for the world
economy. To achieve this, employers need a highly skilled workforce.
Many employers need to raise their game to capture highvalue markets – to achieve this, skills need to be placed at the heart of an
organisation’s business plan. The report highlights that, collectively, we must continue to find ways to increase the demand for skills from employers and ensure that everyone, whether an employer or an individual, l, is able to access the learning opportunities that are
suitable for them.
