Cape Talk Interview: Demand-led skills training for young people

Bridget Hannah, Innovation Director at the DG Murray Trust discusses the importance of demand-led skills training for young people and why it should be a top priority for our new government.

Demand-led skilling is an approach to skills development in which training and education programmes are designed based on the current and future needs of the labour market. This approach ensures that individuals are equipped with the skills and knowledge that are in demand by employers, industries and the economy. While this may not secure employment, it vastly improves employability.
