With the UK’s departure from the European Union seemingly imminent, the government must focus its resolve on addressing flaws in our country’s vocational training system that are preventing the productivity and skills revolution employers need.
The government’s controversial decision to prorogue parliament means the UK’s withdrawal from the EU appears imminent.
For a post-Brexit Britain to achieve economic success, however, we have to get to grips with our productivity crisis, which is restricting our economic potential.
To do so demands a fundamental reassessment of our attitudes towards further education, while at the same time addressing flaws in the skills funding system that are inhibiting apprenticeship expansion.
The UK is ill prepared for its impending economic drudge match outside the European Union.
