Our response to Chancellor's Plan for Jobs expansion - Conservative Party Conference

CBI yesterday responded to Chancellor's Plan for Jobs expansion – Conservative Party Conference.

Matthew Fell, CBI Chief Policy Director, yesterday said:

“Businesses will welcome the Chancellor’s Plan for Jobs pivoting from furlough to economic recovery. With record vacancies and widespread labour shortages, this package’s success will be measured by its ability to get people back into work.

“Nearly all of us will need to gain new skills between now and 2030. An expanded role for Job Centre Plus should be a step towards them becoming genuine ‘jobs and skills hubs’, supporting all workers in their search for career progression and higher wages.

“Businesses are committed to playing their full part in training and re-skilling the workforce of tomorrow as we move towards a new economy.”
