Responding to the announcement,ÌýJoe Edwards, Director of UK Competitiveness and Devolved Nations said: “Skills are central to the government’s growth mission, and we welcome today’s announced reforms, which reflect longstanding calls from industry. In innovative sectors like life sciences, the pace of technology change requires a skills base that can adapt accordingly. The launch of Skills England, and additional flexibility of the new Growth and Skills levy, will support sectors like ours to continue growing the number of apprentices we recruit, enable existing staff to reskill, retrain and help the UK in its bid to attract international mobile investment at a time of fierce competition.
