Emma Roberts, Director of External Affairs, WorldSkills UK said: The Chancellor has set out a comprehensive set of plans to grow the UK economy with skills rightly recognised as a critical element in boosting productivity and improving living standards.

Alongside our partners in education and industry our aim is to deliver, at scale, directly into places of learning and work, the world-class technical skills demonstrated by Team UK at the ‘skills Olympics’, to support those sectors the Chancellor is investing in as part of the government’s industrial strategy.

Employers and investors need the innovative, competitive and productive skills WorldSkills UK’s programmes can deliver.”
