🌟 Excited to announce my upcoming intervention on September 12 at the WorldSkills conference! 🌟 As we gather to explore the powerful relationship between competition and transformation, I’m eager to share my perspective on why WorldSkills is more than just a showcase of skills competition - it’s a driving force for change! ✨🚀 🌍 💡 **Competition as a Catalyst for Transformation:**  When we think about WorldSkills, the competitive environment ignites a passion for skills excellence. It encourages participants to push their boundaries, innovate, and strive for the highest standards. But the benefits extend far beyond individual achievements; competition serves as a learning excellence, sharing experience and catalyst for broader socioeconomic transformation. 🌍 **Beyond Skills Excellence:**  Transformation isn’t solely about mastering a craft; it’s about harnessing those skills as a vehicle for socioeconomic progress. By cultivating a highly skilled workforce, we empower individuals and communities, creating opportunities that transcend borders. 🔗 **Contextualizing Skills for Economic Impact:**  To truly make a difference, we must contextualize skills training to reflect the needs of our economies. By aligning vocational education with market demands, we can drive job creation and open doors for economic opportunities. This approach not only addresses skill gaps but also fosters local entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable growth. Join me as we delve into these themes and explore how we can leverage the power of skills and competition to create a brighter, more equitable future for all. Together, we can transform aspirations into achievements! 💪✨ #WorldSkills #SkillsTransformation #EconomicOpportunities #JobCreation #VocationalTraining #SkillsExcellence #Empowerment #WSL2024

Throwback to 3 weeks ago when we were in RDS at WorldSkills Ireland showcase for 2024. What an eye-opening event to inspire the next generation about the range of incredible roles, careers and skills, across such a range of industries including Construction. #worldskills  #worldskillsireland #BuildingHeroes #BuildingHeroesIRL #BuildSustainableCareers #NextGenCareers #ConstructionHeroes #buildingthefuture #BuildSustainableCareers

Skills competition should be promoted in all countries to provide a benchmark for development of future industries and high tech companies that can resolve a lot of infrastructure and socio-economic challenges hindering development especially in developing countries.

Great to see the power of qualifications in real terms.

🌟5 Key Takeaways from the T-Level Ambassador Conference🌟 Had an inspiring day at the T-Level Ambassador Conference today at The Kia Oval - Surrey County Cricket Club Here are 5 key takeaways that I'm excited to share: 1) Industry Collaboration is Key: There was a strong emphasis on the importance of collaboration between employers and educators in ensuring T-Levels are meeting the needs of both businesses and students. 2) Rising Stars of the Workforce: T-Levels are equipping students with the skills and knowledge they need for their chosen careers. These future professionals are going to be instrumental in driving innovation and growth across various industries. 3) Employer Engagement is Booming: It was great to see so many employers actively engaged in supporting T-Levels. This level of commitment is crucial for the continued success of the qualification. 4) Building the Skills Bridge: T-Levels offer a valuable pathway for students to progress into higher education or directly into skilled employment. This flexibility is a major advantage of the T-Levels. 5) A Brighter Future for Skills: The overall sentiment at the conference was one of optimism and excitement for the future of T-Levels. This qualification has the potential to revolutionise technical education in the UK. 🇬🇧 #TLevels #SkillsRevolution #TLEVELCONF24 ##TLevelAmbassador

T levels do indeed open doors to a new experience of learning beyond the academic, traditional methods where regurgitation of information to pass exams is the norm. Allows to a great extent for the student to take control of their learning where skills and behaviours are paramount. Do get me wrong, I agree like many of you, it is a qualification that's resource heavy and requires meticulous planning across provider departments, but it can be done, with a few stumbles along the way, nothing that one can't recover from. T levels inspires committed learners to engage in conversations with their teachers that transforms their mindsets to the ' I can do this...' through critical and lateral thinking processes. Embracing T levels within the FE sector by providers demystifies the perception that FE Voc routes are for those who have 'failed' the traditional A level route. Having been part of the team that has seen learners develop their resilience, and continue their T level journey amidst a T level teaching and assessment landscape that was/is enduring lots of negative publicity, there's definitely a future for this qualification framework. All that is needed is empowerment of the delivery teams by the SLTs through focused investment. Hence my excitement about this new concept of T level ambassadors. Looking forward to joining the ambassadors and the other emerging T level networks to drive the key messages and mitigate provider concern and further develop this education option.

Have questions about WorldSkills Conference 2024: Moving TVET to the Top of the Global Agenda? We've got answers! The largest skills conference to be held in Europe this September alongside WorldSkills Lyon 2024 is laser-focused on ensuring attendees participate in a relevant global conversation on skills. We sat down with Laurence Gates, Conference Coalition Chair and #WorldSkills Board member, for a Q&A to answer some of your #WSC2024 questions, including: Q - "How do you ensure that the Conference is relevant and engaging for delegates?" A - "We recognize that different countries and regions have unique contexts, challenges, and priorities when it comes to skills development. That is why we strive to create a program me that offers something for everyone. It is not just about the content, but also how that content is presented. We work closely with our speakers and partners to make sure that the sessions are tailored to the needs and interests of our audience, wherever they are in the world and whatever the size of their economy. Ultimately, our goal is to create a truly global conversation around skills, where everyone has a voice and can learn from each other."
