Missing Millions: Considering the untapped potential of millions of working-age people in the UK

Missing Millions: Considering the untapped potential of millions of working-age people in the UK

This report presents research that provides an understanding of the current impact of the low levels of investment in training in the UK and, in addition, tries to quantify how many people’s potential contribution to society is being squandered as a result of not having access to regular skills development. And the inevitable impact of that on social mobility.

Skills for a net-zero economy: Insights from employers and young people

Skills for a net-zero economy: Insights from employers and young people

The report by Yasmin White, Tom Bradley, Beccy Packer & Emily Jones demonstrates a stark disconnect between increasing employer demand for green skills and young people’s lack of knowledge. A lack of awareness of green jobs and what qualifications support progression to these roles is thwarting young people’s aspirations for careers that can combat climate change and drive clean growth.

Taiwan’s Senior Learning Movement - Brian Findsen (Ed)

Taiwan’s Senior Learning Movement - Brian Findsen (Ed)

This volume provides an in-depth analysis of historical and recent developments of senior learning in Taiwan, where publications in English have been scant. It takes a broader view on lifelong learning and active ageing from a theoretical/conceptual base written by prominent international authors- this represents the ‘outside in’ perspective. The ‘inside out’ on the other hand signifies an in-depth investigation of initiatives written by authors from Taiwan who are closely involved with developments in policy and practice.
