@GetTransfercom please contact me ASAP as our driver has cancelled two hours before our trip. 😡😡😡 I’ve sent a message to your support on your app but not heard back. This is NOT GOOD being left stranded.

@bhx_official what’s going on at your drop off car park ? The barriers don’t seem to be working and we’ve queued so long we’ve now got to pay. ☹️☹️☹️

[Louise Rowland @lr2050]

🙌Very excited about the work of this Commission

[Ufi VocTech Trust @UfiTrust]

Pic of last week's first meeting of the Digital Badging Commission, in partnership with @theRSAorg. We want to transform the way we recognise and reward skills in the UK - ensuring the full breadth of a person's experiences is recognised. More info at https://t.co/mesSDIPHNy

Love this !

Powerful stuff at #EmpSkills24 hearing from people whose lives have been transformed by skills and employment .

“At the heart of all we do is the service user”

So very important to keep this thought front of mind as the new Government begins their change agenda.

[Louise Rowland @lr2050]

“The response to skills gaps is a collective one”

Kicking off @LearnWorkUK #EmpSkills24 with a thoughtful discussion about preparing the workforce for the future labour market with @OllyNewtonUK at the helm

@DonaldHTaylor … interesting.. we were talking about this last week …

[Louise Rowland @lr2050]

I’ve been advocating a skills tax credit for years. A more positive incentive for employers rather than punitive taxation (eg levies) . It’s being discussed at #AELPNC24 . Let’s also keep talking about how to incentivise change in Government mindset on the value of skills.

Great discussion about functional skills at #AELPNC24 It’s tragic that too many young people are not able to progress their apprenticeships as they can’t pass a couple of units in functional maths and English quals. Glad this is the focus of @AELPUK first ‘mini commission’

[Louise Rowland @lr2050]

@SimonAshworth looking forward to catching up @AELPUK Conference

Had a great day at #LT24UK particularly interesting to hear from @danielsusskind how he thinks AI is transforming work and with it mindsets around how we go about solving problems.

[Ufi VocTech Trust @UfiTrust]

Our Deputy CEO @lr2050 saw a key theme at @LearnTechUK last week: The pace of change in workplaces

Equipping people with skills isn't just about keeping pace, it's about creating new ways of work that embrace 'change as the new normal'

#LT24UK #WorkSkills #FutureOfWork

[Louise Rowland @lr2050]

Great to catch up with @assembleyou at #LT24UK one of our @UfiVentures and take a look at the info they are gathering from delegates on trends in using social platforms for learning.

[Louise Rowland @lr2050]

Nigel Paine @ebase at #LT24UK. His philosophy struck a chord
‘Start now, start small’

Made me reflect how @UfiTrust has evolved over 10 years. Starting small with a mantra of being relentlessly practical … now 300+ organisations supported with £30m+ grant & venture funding 👍🏼

[Louise Rowland @lr2050]
