Abstract
The British CBI introduced national educational and training targets in 1991. Small firms might be regarded as unlikely to respond to them because of, for example, lack of time, cost constraints and fears of other firms poaching their employees. Is this true? Surveys of South London employers in November 1992 and February 1993, which were carried out for South London Training and Enterprise Council (SOLOTEC), provide some interesting insights on the relative standards of training in small businesses. Reports findings which show that size does matter and goes on to argue that there could be a different set of training dynamics in many small firms. Poses a culture of rational and incremental change in training activity in large firms against a more visionary approach in small firms to explain some curious evidence on the uptake of National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs).
