Britain's "skills shortage" is a myth.

When employers moan in the press that there aren't enough skilled workers to hire for their company, what they really mean is "we don't want to invest in training and there aren't enough people with the *exact skill set* we need to throw them into our business with no training or development whatsoever".

There is no shortage of skilled, educated, bright people in Britain. There is a shortage of bosses who will invest in staff development.
