The system is not just struggling to provide our people with the skills they need; it is failing to provide employers with the skills they need to drive growth. One third of UK vacancies in 2022 were down to skills shortages. For instance, 92% of employers cite digital skills as key for their business, yet 7.5 million working-age adults lack them. The skills system that the Conservatives left behind is letting down our people and holding back our economy.
