Congratulations to the Labour Party on their election victory. The next government needs to deliver employment and skills improvements to boost growth and widen opportunity. We look forward to working with them to deliver on their ambitions for an 80% employment rate by improving and widening employment support and to improve skills through Skills England and a new Growth and Skills Levy. Delivering change will require the Government, trades unions, employers, devolved administrations and community groups to work together. The prize is a fairer and more prosperous country.
