Excited to be launching @cityandguilds new report today.

🔋Laws abolishing the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education got their first reading in parliament today

@Jacqui_Smith1 said the bill 'marks the next step in our plans for Skills England, to help kickstart economic recovery'

[Shane Chowen @shanechowen]

Remember the Skills England bill from the King's Speech?

It's now the "Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (Transfer of Functions etc) bill"

Love a bill with "etc" in the title

There's no bill to see just yet, but @Jacqui_Smith1 has introduced it in the Lords

[George Stern @georgestern]

Leadership is about serving, not commanding.

It's about putting your people first.

This sheet will help you strengthen your servant leadership,

So your employees and your organization can thrive.

The Tories buried the report they commissioned on the roots of the Windrush scandal for two years.

Our message to the Windrush generation could not be clearer: we are grateful to you, and we will do right by you.

Our #Lab24 activity followed @cityandguilds's big weekend campaign showcasing how #SkillsChangeLives. This campaign shows that championing skills isn’t just a policy debate – its impact is real and it can contribute to individual prosperity and even generate the household names.
