Post-14 Education and Skills Programme Head, Emily Tanner, outlines five key messages that we took away from our event on the future of work and skills.
Place and opportunity: a better future for work and skillsOpens in a new window was held as part of our 80th anniversary programme, Changing lives for the better, which will support the development of our new strategy.
The event centred on three Nuffield-funded research programmes:
- The economy 2030 inquiry led by the Resolution Foundation and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
- The skills Imperative 2035 project led by the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER)
- The Pissarides review of work and well-beingOpens in a new window led by the Institute for the Future of Work (IFOW)
The introductory presentations for the three programmes made clear how a place-based lens is important both for maximising national economic growth as well as for individuals to thrive in the places where they live and work.
