They highlight the need to build policy coherence across employment, skills, economic development and innovation policies, and underline the importance of ensuring that skills utilisation is built into policy development thinking and implementation.Skills utilisation concerns the extent to which skills are effectively applied in the workplace to maximise workplace and individual performance.
