91. In conclusion, manufacturing's skill problems are concentrated around particular industries and competencies. In some sectors, such as metals, these problems are acute. At present, the skills system is complex, confusing and often slow to respond to demand. We recognise that the Government accepts these problems and we broadly endorse the Government's approach to reforming the skills system. Nevertheless, we have some reservations. In particular, the demand for structural simplification of the training avenues available cannot be ignored in the medium to long-term, and we believe there to be a potential tension between setting high-level targets and creating a genuinely responsive system to meet the needs of individual sectors. Likewise, we believe that much more needs to be done to promote careers in manufacturing—promoting science skills alone is not enough; the image of the sector itself is a fundamental problem that needs to be addressed.
