The role of employer training in levelling up.

The article discusses the "Levelling Up" White Paper which makes statements and promises about the role of employers, noting that an over-centralised approach to policy making has gone hand-in-hand with the lack of a clear role for business and civil society in helping to shape and deliver policy locally. Topics include observation on the Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), crisis in adult upskilling and reskilling, and recommendations for the British government.
