Governments worldwide assume that national competitiveness can be
improved by developing workforce skills. This book critically
examines this 'high skills' vision at both policy and practice
levels. It challenges an oversimplified policy rhetoric that
underestimates the complexity of the processes involved in
developing a skilled workforce. The book focuses on key issues
relating to the high skills agenda: skills and political economy;
different investment strategies for producing skills; qualification
systems and learning. A multidisciplinary team of authors from a
range of disciplines, including economics, management and
education, provides the cross-cutting international and comparative
analysis. Editorial comment links their explorations to wider
questions of skill formation processes and overarching questions
are addressed through in-depth analysis of the roles of higher
education, apprenticeship and formal school learning in skill
formation.
