How do you recommend closing the future skills gap?

Map your future skills needs by identifying capabilities that will drive your business forward, from AI fluency to sustainability leadership.

Understand your current skills gaps and prepare to align with key national policies such as the introduction of the Lifelong Learning Entitlement and Growth & Skills Levy with your workforce development strategy. Work with other employers in your sector and/or value chain to address emerging skills gaps.

Engage with Local Further Education Colleges and Higher Education providers about flexible course design aligned to your future workforce needs.

Partner with skills development organisations, focus on skills based hiring. Work with BITC through our Opening Doors Campaign, 53% of Opening Doors employers are reporting improving their skills gap through embedding actions from the campaign framework.
