His Royal Highness has asked that this particular visit be focused on Developing Talent in the Workplace. Low skills cost a typical business with 50 employees £165,000 pa and the UK economy £10bn a year.
By 2020, the 6 million remaining low skilled jobs in the UK will have gone. The fact is, however, that nearly three-quarters of the 2020 workforce have already completed their compulsory education; the UK now needs to step up to the challenge of supporting employees to gain skills for a changing world of work.
This visit will lay out the challenge which UK business face in order to develop a culture and environment that encourages the development of talent and skills of people in order to ensure that Britain remains competitive in the global economy.
Delegates will be provided with the opportunity to visit a selection of organisations, exploring best practice of how to draw out talent from within the workplace and understand the importance of doing so.
