JOHN DENHAM RIGHT TO SAY THAT COLLEGES MUST WORK MORE CLOSELY WITH BUSINESSES

22/11/07 | 16:41

Charlotte Moore-Bick, Senior Policy Adviser at the British Chambers of Commerce said:

"Making colleges more responsive to employers' training and skills needs is essential if we are going to achieve the ambitious Leitch goals by 2020. The best colleges are already working closely with businesses, but others still have a long way to go in balancing the needs of business with those of the wider community."
