Prince's Trust and HSBC Research findings

UK businesses must tackle skills crisis


· 73 per cent of British businesses believe a skills crisis will hit the UK within the next three years.

· 32 per cent of organisations report skills shortages at entry level and more than half are currently



facing difficulties filling vacancies (53 per cent).

· 72 per cent believe that the recruitment of young people into the workforce is vital to avert a skills



crisis.

New research from The Prince's Trust and HSBC indicates that business leaders are facing skills gaps,

threatening to hamper economic growth.

UK employers say they are struggling to recruit, yet hundreds of thousands of unemployed young people are

desperate for work. We need to work together to up-skill the workforce of the future.
