Meeting the Needs of UK Industry

Abstract

In recent years the attitude to training in Britain has been transformed. Due to the considerable efforts of politicians like Lord Young and organisations like the Confederation of British Industries and the Manpower Services Commission, the importance of training is now placed at the top of the agenda of any industrial and commercial strategy. Funding training is also no longer a problem, as a result of the resources allocated to the MSC and the Training Boards; while the European Community, through the European Social Fund and European Regional Development Fund, is also putting huge amounts of money into training.
