'Hard choices' | UK's skills system is failing businesses & young people, CBI chair warns

The UK’s skills system is “failing too many businesses” and “too many young people”, according to new Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Chair Cressida Hogg, who has warned the growing disconnect is holding back economic growth.

In a keynote speech at the Cumbria Business Dinner on April 30, Hogg is set to tell business leaders that “right now, this system is failing too many businesses. And in doing so, it is failing too many young people.”
