Broadsheet online Spring/Summer 2007
Welcome to the Spring/Summer issue of Broadsheet.
In this issue we consider the UK's skills policy in the light of the recent Leitch Review, with an opinion piece from Chris Humphries on the UK's hidden workforce, and a feature about what Demos has termed the 'Skills Paradox' - that training investment in the UK seems to go those who are already educated, leaving those that are most in need without the skills they need to progress.We end by hearing from former Chief inspector of Prisons, Lord David Ramsbotham, on his views about skills training.
There's also time to celebrate skills, with features on our Lion Awards and, following our 2007 Senior Awards ceremony in May, we interview some learners who now can proudly use the letters LCGI after their names. We meet a team of young people who are travelling to Japan in the autumn to represent the UK at WorldSkills 2007 and talk to two inspirational trainers.
I hope that you enjoy Broadsheet. We always love to hear your comments, questions or ideas for future issues. If you have any, do e-mail me at broadsheet@cityandguilds.com.
