Steph is joined by Phil Smith CBE, Chair of Skills England, and Ann Watson, CEO of Enginuity, to discuss Skills England’s recently published Annual Skills Report which sets out the key challenges facing England’s skills system and actions for how they can be addressed. They also chat about the industrial strategy’s growth sectors, potential opportunities over the next 5–10 years, pathways for moving between sectors and how to tackle the NEET challenge of about a million young people who are not in education, earning or training.  00:00 Welcome00:17 What is Skills England?03:58 How Job Titles create Gender Bias06:12 Work Experience Changes Minds08:05 Manufacturing Hidden in Plain Sight09:17 Skills England Annual Report Insights12:07 Essential Skills in the AI Era14:24 Creativity and Hands On Learning15:48 Skills Classification and Passports16:34 The NEETs Challenge16:58 Recognising Hidden Strengths20:09 AI Confidence Story23:38 SME Skills Struggles27:55 Skills England Wishlist Get in touch with us at sospod@enginuity.org Hosted on Acast.
