Countdown Issue 1052
I joked to the AELP staff team on Monday morning that for me this week involved a lot of evening dresses and eating nice food! But in seriousness, it has been fantastic to be out at several ceremonies celebrating our amazing sector and the contribution our learners, providers and employers have made over the last year and beyond. Education Investor Awards 2021 I was delighted to be at the Education Investor Awards 2021 on Tuesday evening. It was fantastic to see AELP patron The Skills Network
Patron Think Piece - Training Qualifications UK - What training providers should look for from digital qualifications
The days when artificial intelligence was the stuff of science fiction are long gone. Whether it’s the virtual assistant on your mobile phone or the recommendations you get on Netflix, much of our everyday lives are dominated by AI. But while its impact continues to grow, education and training around it hasn’t followed suit. 55% of businesses have reported an AI skills gap, while 67% anticipate that their need for these skills will only grow in the future.
Countdown Issue 1051
Just occasionally, we get a week where we can take a breath to digest what has been going on lately without having something new and urgent vying for our attention. It had been that sort of week this week, until Wednesday when the Minister for Higher and Further Education Michelle Donelan announced at a Times Higher Education Campus Live event that the government plan to introduce “lifelong learning accounts” from 2025 as part of the lifelong loan entitlement for provision at levels 4-6.
