Our prosperity depends on rising productivity, and managers

need to make the most of our talents to innovate and support

high value activities. But while many great businesses need

more skills, skilled people are often underemployed and there

are persistent and growing skills shortages.

Accelerating technology, globalisation and longer working

lives are changing the workplace. We’re better educated,

meeting a rising demand for skills. But the skills needed

are changing, and better businesses need to develop new

middle progression career pathways as old ones decline.

Recession accelerated a decade-long trend of falling youth

employment and a growth in service intensive roles.

Education continues to be vital, but there are fewer

opportunities to combine work and study. Firms gaining more

business need to create better opportunities for new entrants.
