The Commission is researching the barriers and opportunities for business investment in the training and development of adults in the workplace, over the age of 25 and at all skill levels.  The inquiry will consider the interests of businesses of all sizes and sectors and across the United Kingdom, including devolved regions and nations.  It will explore the role of central, devolved and local governments, Chambers of Commerce, training providers and employers in creating the optimal environment for workplace skills development.

The Commission aims to develop policy recommendations that are applicable and relevant to all parts of the UK, and spanning a 10 to 15 year timeframe, together with practical initiatives that can be implemented at a local level to support business in the training and up-skilling of the adult workforce.
