There’s a spotlight in the UK right now on work-related skills, and our investment into equipping people with appropriate skills for life and work is absolutely vital.
This week’s expert guests on Brighter Futures have a fantastic overview on the skills area, and more importantly how it can evolve for the better - we’re joined by WEA’s External Relationships Director, Chris Morgan and EDT’s Deputy Director of Skills, Kiri Baxter.
Listen as Kiri and Chris share with host Tony McAleavy how we define skills, the value of localising the delivery of skills training, and how it feeds into the country’s success.
This episode covers
- The definition of skills, and whether it varies between schools and post-16 education
- Effective practice for skills guidance in the workplace
- How we make access to skills education as inclusive as possible
- Priorities for the new Skills England body
