“Any young person's programme of study, whether ‘academic’ or ‘vocational’, should provide for a labour market and education progress on a wide front...”

The Wolf Report, May 2011

'Businesses and the Government need to put their shoulders to the wheel and get our young people job-ready.'

- John Cridland, the director general of the CBI

What Employers Want

Mindset v Skillset

Given the choice between someone with the desired mindset who lacks the complete

skillset for the job, and someone with the complete skillset who lacks the desired mindset, a total of 96% of thousands of

employers surveyed picked mindset over skillset as the key element in those they

seek and retain.”
