What's in this episode?

This week we’re back with our VocTech Podcast, this time looking at skills development in the new world of work. 

As we move towards ever more atomised modes of work, is there a risk we don't develop our skills properly, just going from one gig to another?

If we are going to prevent that from happening, what do we need our freelance, flexible or gig economy platforms to look like and to build in? Is this ever likely?

This week we’re back with our VocTech Podcast, exploring these questions with special guests. 

  • Sophie Smallwood, RoleShare - which helps people keep up with work and life healthily.
  • Helen Gironi, Ufi Ventures - the UK’s specialist investor in EdTech for adults 
  • Christina Palmou, formerly of the Tony Blair Institute - which was set up to help make globalisation work for the many, not the few

This episode is part of our VocTech Podcast series produced in collaboration with Ufi VocTech Trust
