In a recent paper, published by the Learning Skills Council, it is stated that: "....the way in which skills have an impact on organisations are manifold.
In the first instance, if employers do not have the skills required to produce products or services, this will result in lost orders or delays, or will result in the hiring of relatively expensive agency workers if they are available.
A shortage of skills will also have more indirect or latent effects, such as failure to innovate and capture new markets.
The empirical evidence shows that higher level skills are intimately related to a wide variety of creative activities, including research and development and innovation." SMC's bespoke training service will, it is hoped, aid industry overcome some of the problems mentioned in the report.
