National Strategy for Enterprise Skills

Throw away the briefcase:

you’re not going to the office.

You can kiss your benefits

goodbye too. And your new

boss won’t look much like

your old one. There’s no

longer a ladder, and you may

never get to retire, but there’s

a world of opportunity if you

figure out a new path.
