Information for THE MEDIA
A global gap between supply and demand for
skilled workers is a matter of increasing concern for governments
and employers, both in developed and developing nations.
Increasingly, they are turning to outside organisations for expert
advice, research and sector intelligence. This is the work
undertaken by the City & Guilds Centre for Skills
Development.
We work to provide a clear and accurate
picture of the challenges facing the global economy. Our aim
is to raise the profile and understanding of vocational skills
internationally, as knowledge is the key to addressing the skills
gaps and shortages in many nations. One of the most powerful
means of sharing information across a global network is through the
media.
By reaching and engaging the widest possible
audience, we can foster change and development within the sector by
encouraging action and greater involvement, and opening up
debate. Through the media we can also raise public awareness
of our work, our partners and our projects, helping to put skills
firmly on the agenda.
This site is regularly updated with new press
releases, case studies and press clippings. You can also find
a wealth of information under the ‘Information for researchers’ tab
on the left of this page, including sector-specific data and
reports.
We are always happy to respond to media
enquiries. If you wish to speak to us about our work, or if
we can be of help to you for your story or research, please contact
