During this webinar we discussed bridging higher education and industry, to meet the skills needs of tomorrow.
We were joined by university and business officials at the forefront of the future skills challenge as we discussed new approaches to collaborative future skills development, and explored the challenges facing progress in this space.
In the early days of a national Skills England, and as we await reform to the Apprenticeship Levy, this event dug into the role of higher education and their partnerships with businesses and local communities and authorities. We explored how we can build a comprehensive model for local and national future skills provision.
