BUSINESS EDUCATION The development of professional workers in organisations has become a growing priority in the past few years. The acquisition of relevant knowledge and skills of employees, if properly harnessed and directed, has become a crucial difference between organisations. It is the application of knowledge and skills that drives profit in the private sector, delivers services in the public sector and achieves shared objectives in the third, or voluntary, sector.
These skills are increasingly acquired not through top-down training but through the work of the self-directed learner. In short the place of skills in the business and the way that they are acquired has changed.
