Skills for the Future

I have posted before about the mismatch between graduates and the skills that their employers need. So I was rather pleased that learned research from Accenture backs up my comments, showing that countries with high R&D spending and investment on training in science and technology makes countries more competitive.

This was presented to students and teaching staff at my post-graduate course award ceremony last night. I'm glad to have got through that experience with a rather better grade than my original degree. Don't know if I'll be going back for the Masters though. Enough of hard (academic) work for now.
