North East Times' Skills Issue

This February, North East Times will be focusing on skills.

We will be looking at the perceived skills gap in the North East, talking to some of the businesses and organisations that are attempting to fill the void, and asking what will happen to the region’s economy if we fail to address this issue?

Some of the themes and issues addressed will include: 

? What and where is the skills gap in the North East?

? The economic and social impacts of the skills gap 

? Who is responsible for building skills in the North East?

? Skills initiatives across the region 

? Building skills among young people through apprenticeships and traineeships?

? The Apprenticeship Levy

? Training and retraining

? Attracting talent to the region in the wake of Brexit

? The role of public and private sectors in building skills
