With unemployment at a 20 year low, the UK skills
gap has barely been away from the headlines in the past week. The
University of Cambridge warned of an impending IT skills shortfall.
Billionaire businessman Philip Green announced his investment in
a retail academy and specialist business schools in a bid to develop
the entrepreneurial talent of tomorrow. While the CIPD called on
government to improve the vocational training of ex-offenders to
help businesses plug their skills shortages. Elsewhere on TrainingZONE
Prof Simon Roodhouse argues that companies need to make their staff
development schemes better than their competition's in order to
attract and retain the best staff. And in this week's 'The Way I
See It...' Tim Bradley makes a persuasive case for developing a
talent management system that identifies and develops the most able
employees.
