A REPORT RELEASED TODAY “SKILLS FOR BUSINESS: MORE TO LEARN?” BY THE BRITISH CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE (BCC) SHOWS THAT THE MAJORITY OF BUSINESSES FIND IT HARD TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT STAFF.
The BCC’s research looked at the issues around skills, apprenticeships and training to understand the challenges faced by businesses operating in a labour market dramatically altered by the financial crisis.
In a survey of 6,000 businesses, almost half (45%) businesses said that it was very or quite difficult to find the right member staff for a position.
Businesses also lack confidence in qualifications at all levels. Only 45% of businesses are very or fairly confident in recruiting graduates, but just 29% felt similarly about recruiting a school-leaver with A-levels or equivalent.
Mise En Place Hospitality Recruitment hand picks its candidates to ensure that they meet the highest standards and even in these financially hard times we strive to find the perfect candidates for the job.
Commenting on the report, John Longworth, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, said: “Even at a time of record youth unemployment, firms lack confidence in our education system’s ability to deliver basic literacy and numeracy skills. But employers also want to see young people with a strong worth ethic, and those ‘softer’ skills like timekeeping, and communication, which are fundamental in the work environment.
