Workforce Foresighting Hub Podcast
Due to the speed of innovation, UK organisations need a workforce able to adapt to new capabilities that require different and often higher skill sets. New recruits with the right skills are often in short supply. Failure to address this ongoing challenge could mean the UK misses out on opportunities to take market-leading positions and become competitive on a global scale.
The Workforce Foresighting Hub has been set up to address this challenge and provide insights and recommendations that will help identify and prepare for future skill demands.
In this informative new series, the Workforce Foresighting Hub Podcast brings together coaches, educators, employers, technologists, and conveners from the Catapult Network. We will discuss how we can work together to address the skills challenge, how the Workforce Foresighting Hub works, and what can be done to ensure UK organisations have a skilled workforce ready to adapt to new capabilities aligned with emerging technology and innovation.
