Yossa is a new website that aims to get Britain back to work. Based on an idea by Bob Geldof, Yossa is for ordinary people with innovative business ideas who want to see if they can turn their ideas into a real business. On Yossa, you can post your idea, receive helpful comments and feedback from other users and help to turn it into a limited company should you choose to. Yossa also allows users to search for a job, add a vacancy and showcase their skills.
The government has pledged that a skills revolution will be complete by the year 2020. The Ten Alps Events conference, World Class Skills, explored how this promise might be fulfilled. With Britain lagging behind its competitors, and amid the worst recession for 65 years, the skills debate is important and increasingly urgent.
