Editor's note
=============
For once it seems that employers and employees are in complete
agreement. Earlier this year a Learning and Skills Council
survey found that employers categorised more than one in ten of
their workers incompetent.
In the past week a second survey has found that the majority of
workers themselves feel more training would boost their
productivity.
So does this mean that employers and employees at last recognise
the business, and of course career, benefits of training?
