The Department for Education’s former top skills civil servant has been appointed as a senior adviser and global director for education and skills at accounting giant PwC.
Paul Kett left the DfE as its director general for skills in December, having served in several roles at the department over the last six years.
PwC, which is considered one of the “big four” accounting firms in the world, announced today that Kett would join to develop the company’s “education and skills practice and delivering business transformation work for clients both in the UK and globally”.
Kett said: “With investment in people and skills a priority for businesses and governments around the world, I am excited to bring my knowledge and experience to support clients close the skills gap and help secure more inclusive and sustainable economies and societies.”
