Driving ‘Local’ Skills Provision with ‘Local’ Labour Market Data

With Andy Durman

Don’t miss this essential webinar on why a data-driven approach is key to the future of FE provision – and to building a workforce fit for the future.

July 8 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm BST

This webinar will be presented by Andy Durman, Executive Vice President of the Global Business Unit at labour market analytics experts Lightcast

Throughout the session Andy will examine why local labour market data is critical to solving local skills challenges. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience providing workforce and skills insights to education and training providers, Andy will unpack the vital role of data in aligning education provision with employer needs, using a deep dive into one of the Government’s Industrial Strategy priority sectors. 

Our recent webinar – The Landscape of Funding in Further Education – explored the significant shift taking place in skills funding, particularly in light of devolution, and the growing pressure on providers to align their offer with local skills needs. 

In this follow-up session,

Key themes include: 

 

  • Why the shift to devolved funding requires devolved insights

  • How labour market data can power curriculum alignment and strengthen funding bids

  • Why the Industrial Strategy demands local data to address local skills needs
