In the first episode of the series, we are joined by Workforce Foresighting Hub Lead Consultants John Lanham and Paul Shakspeare to delve into the UK skills challenge.
John has worked in the higher education and skills sector for over 30 years and has been part of the work to develop the Workforce Foresighting Hub for the last five years.
Paul is an engineer who spent most of his career working on how we train and educate people in various fields, which is how he initially met John. They now work together as consultants to help deliver the ambitions of the Workforce Foresighting Hub programme.
The pair examine what exactly the skills challenge is, why it is important and how it impacts the UK. As well as this, they discuss what has been done to address this challenge so far and what can be done to ensure UK organisations have a skilled workforce ready to adapt to new capabilities aligned with emerging technology and innovation.
