Finding new ways to close skills gaps

Each of our charitable projects is created to tackle a combination of the following problems:

Employers struggling to fill current skills gaps
The education system struggling to meet the needs of all employers and particularly SMEs
The education system being fragmented and confusing
Solving cross-industry skills challenges requires a 'sector connector'.
