Skills-based training on the back of “Education for Life” is crucial to provide viable employment for the huge addition to the work-force we will see in the coming decade or two Sport needs to be used extensively and as an integral part of the curriculum Industry will have to become more supportive and encouraging of these initiatives in order to create a more productive and effective workforce for itself – more partnerships between ‘innovators’ and ‘influencers’ – those with the resources and decision-making power to support projects striving to trigger change through sport In Summary
