A major intervention on the future of adult learning has been detailed in a new policy report released today.
The report, Equipped For The Future, features an introduction from former Secretary of State for Education and Employment David Blunkett as well as contributions from the Deputy General Secretary of The TUC Paul Nowak, Chief Executive of Business in the Community Amanda Mackenzie OBE and shadow education minister Lord Watson.
Bringing together key experts, Equipped For The Future responds to the seismic shifts taking place in the adult skills environment of Britain.
