As the UK faces economic and technological change, building a skilled workforce is critical - but what should that workforce look like? And how can employers, educators and policymakers align to prepare people for what’s next?

Host Zoë Grünewald is joined by Pearson’s UK Lead Sharon Hague and Vice Chair of Skills England Sir David Bell, to explore the future of skills in a rapidly evolving economy.

Their discussion explores the economic cost of skills gaps and the opportunities to boost national output through better training and education policy - especially in the face of AI, green tech, and demographic change.

As well as outlining the government’s role, they discuss the importance of flexibility, digital literacy, and building a culture of continuous upskilling to help the UK become a global leader in the AI-driven economy.
