Skills World Live Roadshow: Levelling-up through further education and skills in the West Midlands

After a short break, the award winning Skills World Live Radio Show is back with its ‘on the road’ format of the podcast!

This week, we’re co-producing the show with Level BTEC Media Production students at Walsall College in the West Midlands. Sponsored by Pearson.

Themed, ‘Levelling-up through further education and skills in the West Midlands’, the students ask all the hard hitting questions of our panel. These include:

Is levelling up just a slogan?
Is free speech compatible with keeping students safe?
Should the government be axing BTEC qualifications?
Will lifelong learning ever become reality?

Presenter, Tom Bewick, is joined by his super informed panel of guests:

Sharon Blyfield OBE, Head of Early Careers, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Limited
Fiona Aldridge, Head of Insight and Intelligence – Economic Delivery, Skills and Communities, West Midlands Combined Authority
James Norris, Assistant Principal, Walsall College
Melissa Tisdale, Advanced Practitioner at Walsall College and FE Lecturer of the Year Winner
