“This report by CDE aimed at assessing the current state of the skills development strategy. The key questions driving the project were: What progress are we making with the skills revolution? Do we have realistic policies, priorities and targets?
What should the respective contributions of government and business be? Constraints of time and funding meant that we had to be selective and concentrate on some aspects of skills shortages and development strategies rather than hope for an overall, exhaustive, and authoritative assessment.”
