The London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games is an incredible opportunity for UK businesses. It’s a great chance to enable UK enterprise to be fit to compete on a global stage. It will lead to a surge in visitor numbers – for both tourism and business, in London and across the whole UK. And it is already generating new investment in transport, in redevelopment and in skills that will continue to deliver tangible benefits from now until long after the 2012 Games itself. However, to take advantage of the opportunities, both in the run-up to the 2012 Games and through its legacy of investment, businesses must ensure they have the skills and talent they need to expand into new markets, fulfil supply contracts and sustain growth.
The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) has published 'Springboard for Success', which illustrates the variety of opportunities for the UK's employers around London 2012. It explains how companies across all sectors can prepare their firms to reap the benefits by participating in Government-backed skills training programmes.
