Vince Cable: Skills system needs to be right

Vince Cable has told the Confederation of British Industry conference that it is important for the future viability of the country's economy that the skills level of potential job candidates is meeting the expectations of employers.

The business secretary said yesterday (November 19th) that "getting the skills system right" was crucial to the government's new strategy and in order to have the right level of graduate in 2020 or 2030 the country needs to start acting right now.

He explained that the government must work alongside business to ensure that the objectives are met, stating that in the past, too much damage has been caused by politicians failing to recognise the input of the corporate experts.

"The ultimate aim is to nurture a thriving innovation ecosystem which attracts the most talented people to careers in engineering and science," said Dr Cable.

He hinted that work will begin within the next few months.
