10 good reasons to learn:
- There is a growth in the number of jobs that require higher skills and qualifications.
- There is a decline in jobs for people without skills and qualifications.
- The higher the qualification, the higher the average earnings.
- The pay gap between those with qualifications and those without qualifications is growing wider.
- The qualified are less likely to be unemployed than the unqualified.
- Most people are expected to do more and know more in the workplace today.
- Employers are looking for evidence of ‘willingness to learn’ when recruiting.
- Employers invest the most training in those who already have some skills and qualifications.
- Learning is a skill in itself. Learning today makes future learning easier, helping workers to cope with constant change.
- Better qualifications in the local workforce will help to attract new employers and new industries into the county, where jobs are being lost in traditional industries.
