Putting skills into business
The Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance research on skills policy and economic development had an important impact on the English Skills Strategy, influencing its direction.
Research on the links between workforce skills, business improvement and economic development has also shaped policies beyond the UK, informing policies in Finland and Norway.
Findings from the Centre were influential in the development of Skill Ecosystem projects in Australia supporting partnerships between trainers and industry, focusing on improving workforce capacity and the use of skills.
