The UK skills system is complicated and full of challenges ..but also opportunities. It's been invigorating to explore how more standardised language and a UK-focussed classification could help.
We've been busy working with @WarwickIER on a @educationgovuk project to design a Standard Skills Classification for the UK. The report and recommendations should be out in the next couple of months.

Thanks to @CentreProPolicy team and panelists yesterday for such an informative and thought-provoking event. Special mention to @MartineBBC for exquisite Q & A management and @MarinaHyde with much-needed levity at the end. #InclusiveGrowth#IGConf22
The UK govt's plan to get "half a million people off welfare and into work" by sanctioning jobseekers after 4 weeks who don't take any job outside their field has...a few holes. First, there's no evidence to suggest unemployed people are dragging their feet on finding jobs.
We've just added a new feature giving users personalised guidance on their job search, applications and job interview technique, all based on their unique personality profile. #JobSearch#JobApplication#jobinterview

We're pleased to announce some further upgrades to our service. First up, our jobs library is now solely UK focussed so job-matches are even more accurate and relevant.
@sarahoconnor_ Something around encouraging/enabling greater clarity and consistency in job adverts. This article by @RachelMullerH from 2019 gives some good related background https://t.co/MR5vLRjFVv
Are Brits "too lazy" to do the jobs migrant workers do, like fruit picking? Are farmers "too unpatriotic" to hire them? No and no. Let's start by looking at how the job has changed since Brits used to do it. 1/n https://t.co/eCvyQbaRwm
