Government-supported
Management and Workforce Development Initiatives for SMEs:
'There is another way' |
|
|
All
of us in workforce development share a vision that a vital
learning culture is a key foundation for thriving, prosperous
businesses and a strong, competitive economy. Whilst for
many years, successive Government initiatives have sought
to enable a learning culture; too few have had any significant
success. The purpose of this paper is to bring out what
is best in all that we do, to then propose ‘another
way’ that builds upon it." |

Why
buy the Rat Race Escape Kit?
There
are many reasons people give us but the ‘freedom
to do my own thing’, ‘leave the office politics
behind’, ‘say goodbye to commuting’,
‘feel I’m using my skills and knowledge’,
‘be my own boss rather than being bossed’,
‘build my own future and income’ and ‘improve
my life-work style’ are some of the most common.
As large organisations reduce their employees and buy
in ever more services so there are more and more opportunities
for executives and professional to run their own show.
The Rat Race Escape Kit is practical and proven to help
you achieve this.
