Abstract

To make any sound recovery from the present economic recession, Britain will need a skilled and well‐qualified work force. This is the gospel preached by the Government, trade unions, the CBI, IPM, BIM, economic analysts and commentators There is no such unanimity on the question of who should provide the training that is required, but a variety of reports have commented on the poor practices of many employers in the training and education of their work forces.
