Title Summary Dated
icon Training in the recession: winner or loser? This new research paper, based on the results of an IoD Policy Voice survey of nearly 1,000 directors, challenges the received wisdom that training budgets are the first to be cut in a recession. 80% of directors participating in the research said that their organisations had maintained, or even increased, training in the six months to May 2009. Rather than suffering disproportionately, investment in skills and training had held up better than other key business areas. Jun 2009

This second edition of the IoD’s Education Quarterly looks at Apprenticeships, examining their use by IoD members’ organisations and directors’ views on the proposed Government incentives to boost take-up among employers. The paper also includes data on members’ use of Train to Gain, the skills service for employers in England. Jul 2008
