WHY
Vocational qualifications (VQs) have never been more important
to the economy and the individual; they deliver the trained,
talented employees businesses are crying out for and ensure young
people have the skills needed to succeed in education and
work. The government is investing in vocational routes
acknowledging their value, now we want everyone to come together to
recognise how high quality VQs can enhance life and work
chances.
