@UfiVentures Interesting. Investing in early stage ventures always sounds so complex and risky, but Nick makes it sound all rather simple.

Thanks @niacro it's been a real joy working with you! You're doing excellent work for the benefit of those who really need it. @UfiTrust

One of the repeated mistakes made in using VR for learning is assuming it's all about teaching "hard" skills. What's incredibly effective, particularly with disadvantaged learners, is using VR to cultivate acceptance and confidence in those who have neither.

[Ufi VocTech Trust @UfiTrust]

The best kind of employees are lifelong learners. But anxiety, fear of tests & written instructions can get in the way.

Here's how we supported @FirstStepTrust to provide a safe learning space with the help of #VR.

A minister interested in learning and technology? Progress maybe...the VocTech (vocational technology) sector needs more of it to push forward all the really interesting work in this area. @UfiTrust @UfiVentures #Bett2022 #EdTech #VocTech.

[Josh Smith @JoshSmithNGT]

Great to hear @WalkerWorcester speak today at @Bett_show. Fantastic to hear a minister enthusing about the role of technology in education. Also great to speak to other sector colleagues and see so many amazing exhibitors @UfiTrust @UfiVentures #Bett2022 #EdTech #VocTech

[patrick dunn @PaddyfromFrome]

I've always enjoyed a bit of thoughtful provocation. The education/training sector needs more of it, particularly in the area of vocational technology (VocTech). So I really love this kind of statement, from Tom Duff of City of Glasgow college. @PaddyfromFrome

[Thomas Heiser @ThomasHeiserUfi]

Provocative session from Tom Duff of @CofGCollege at @Bett_show.
Choice is essential. Tech is a differentiator.

@UfiTrust @nwslc_official Superb. What an achievement.

[patrick dunn @PaddyfromFrome]

@UfiTrust @britpestcontrol A really interesting application of new learning technology in a really important (and somewhat under-rated) sector.

[Ufi Ventures @UfiVentures]

UK care economy is worth £158bn, but #investment into #digitalinnovation within the #socialcare sector is still relatively nascent. Change is needed.

Join @HelenGironi, @OomphWellness & @RossToomer to explore emerging trends and #investment opportunities.

An important and thorough document. As a former teacher, (and current parent!) I often find the over-academic orientation and the implied anti-vocational bias within most levels of education to be out-of-date and ill-directed.

[Ufi VocTech Trust @UfiTrust]

Ufi calls on policymakers and the Government to ensure the UK’s #education system places more focus on the importance of vocational #learning and the technology that supports it.

This is interesting. A perceptive look into how "new" technology, and potentially inspiring visions can, might, could, will....be corrupted. I wonder where this is heading?

[patrick dunn @PaddyfromFrome]

Really rather proud to work for @ufitrust. I haven't had a proper full-time job for a long time (this century?), and loved it; but I have a feeling I'm going to love this even more. #VocTech #VocationalTechnology #EdTech #AdultEducation

[Josh Smith @JoshSmithNGT]

At @UfiTrust, we unlock the potential of #digital #technology, helping people impacted by the #digitaldivide get the #skills they need for work.

Another really interesting and constructive use of AI to actually help people (not just chuck adverts at them...). @UfiTrust. #voctech #edtech.

[nope @OdCaroline1]

great to see this scaling up beyond the project with @UfiTrust @Aftab_Hussain long live Ada! #voctech #edtech
