Abstract

While the need for a greater volume of vocational training is widely recognised, it is unlikely to be achieved entirely by labour-market forces. This article, drawing on an investigation of British and German firms with skill shortages, considers the ways in which government can promote transferable training. Attention is given to coverage, likely costs, and the scope for sharing those costs with the private sector. Programmes already operating in the UK are identified and assessed, and some future approaches suggested.
