In the UK, skill supply has been a key concern for employers and inward investors for many years. That is why WorldSkills UK set up an independent Skills Taskforce for Global Britain in May 2021 to provide recommendations on how the UK could get better at using high-quality technical skills to attract and retain more inward investment. This roundtable will support decision making in this field.
