Blueprint for the Future: Skills, Careers and Collaboration! Thank you to The Foundation for Education Development and The Inspirational Learning Group for the opportunity to speak at this incredible event, held at Vicar's Hall, Windsor Castle. It's been a great opportunity to hear so many people inspired to bring innovation in how education develops emerging talent and skills as well as how industry can support the process and engage their future workforce. Two words from this experience which for me will support this evolution: 1. Consistency - a joined up approach and common language that is understood by young people, educationalists and employers. 2. Connectivity - using tech to fill the gaps where people can't do everything. Mainly around accessibility of opportunities and ultimately challenging the concept that your socioeconomic background determines your opportunity to succeed. 🌟Day 1: 🤔 Bridging the Skills Gap: Education v Employer Expectations 🧐 Inclusive Skills Development Great to hear from a range of speakers & panelists including Michelle Storer, Rita G., Melissa Farnham FCCT NPQH, Dan Heffernan, Laura Mason, Mel Richardson MBE (Nee Kose) and Nicola Drury 👏👏 🌟Day 2: 🤔 Employers & Educators – What are the barriers? 💡 Innovative approaches to skills development Lizzie Leek opened the session with a presentation on the amazing work being delivered by Three Spires Trust to evidence work ready / emerging skills, beyond just academic outcomes, to prepare young people for their future. It was a pleasure to follow with a presentation of globalbridge! Finally, a panel discussion with Rebecca Clarke, Sean McGovern and Lizzie Leek and myself discussing practical ways employers and education establishments can collaborate to ensure a bright future for generations to come. #innovation #futureready #careers #apprenticeships #highereducation #furthereducation Jo Malone, FRSA Carl Ward Emma Dickinson Ben Dyer Michael Dyer John Faulconbridge Sam Mason MCIPD Adam Smith Kim Taylor Vojtěch Tichavsky Rhys Howells Jason Gould Rochelle W.

Apprenticeships - are they worth the excitement? As a teacher of 13 years, I have to admit that the rise of ‘apprenticeships’ had largely passed me by. Working most recently in an independent school, the push was certainly on the traditional #academic route - GCSEs to A Levels to #University. And this is no bad thing for the most part; the vast, vast majority of ex-#students I meet speak in glowing terms about their experiences and how they have led to the #careers and lifestyles they currently have. However, working with #globalbridge has really opened my eyes to the alternatives. ‘Work place learning’ (as i think the #vocational training route was once trendily referred to), where #youngpeople gain #experience in an #organisation from the ground up while (often) working towards a #qualification is a real consideration that young people HAVE to be aware of in the contemporary world. In times of crippling #student debt and a saturated #HigherEducation sector, this route may indeed offer an advantage...
