Building for growth

CBI-EDI Survey of Employers (2011)

According to this CBI-EDI Education and Skills Survey, almost half of employers report problems with literacy, numeracy and employability skills in the workforce.   Chapter 5 sets out the evidence for the need to improve these skills.  In addition, the report identifies two other areas for development, the need for STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) and foreign-language skills in chapters 9 and 12 respectively.  While the report does not reflect on second language speakers and the contributions that they make to UK commerce and industry, the latter two areas are particular strengths for the EAL & ESOL target groups.

The main focus is on first- and second-generation migrants enrolled in these levels of education.  “First-generation migrants” refers to those children who were born abroad and whose parents were also born abroad, while “second-generation migrants” refers to those children who were themselves born inside the receiving country but whose parents were born abroad.
