Upskilling | Businesses witnessing 'skills gap crisis'

Businesses are facing a skills gap crisis, due to failure to upskill their workforces, a new report published by skills body City & Guilds Group has revealed.

The research, which polled a total of 2,000 current full-time employees, claims that 75% of respondents agree that work continuous education is essential to success, whilst nearly half of those polled do not believe that they are getting the training they need to stay relevant in their field.
