4) "Change is not what it used to be" says Charles Handy, a business guru and author of books such as The Age of Unreason and The Empty Raincoat. It is largely true that change in our times is more rapid, more technological, and more global in its process and impact.
In order to keep abreast of change and remain competitive, the UK economy demands continual up-skilling and re-skilling. 'Lifelong learning' has become a buzzword in classrooms, boardrooms and government offices. So when you are in work you may expect to undertake many short training courses or even a full professional qualification.
