Polling from YouGov shows that 41% of people in work would learn a new skill to get a better paid job, while 31.8% say they would learn new skills to get a job they enjoy.
Almost half (46.4%) of workers say they would learn a new skill if it was free for them to do so, 38.4% say they would if they could get a qualification and 31.6% said they would if it was online.
