#244 - What is skill and how should we measure it?

What's in this episode?

This week we’re back with our VocTech Podcast, this time looking at assessment and skills and thinking about what is skill and how should we measure it?

This episode is part of our VocTech Podcast series produced in collaboration with Ufi VocTech Trust. 

I'm in conversation with:

• Sharath Jeeven OBE, Intrinsic Labs,
• Abby Gilbert, Institute for the Future of Work,
• Amelia Peterson, The London Interdisciplinary School,  

• Christopher Mallet, Bodyswaps and
• Jessica Blakey, Head of Assessment Innovation, NCFE

We talk about:

• What we don't want from assessment and the more nefarious applications of assessment in the workplace 
• How we can think more broadly about skills and motivation
• What new approaches are out there 
• How new innovation is being funded and supported 

You'll also hear about event and grant funding updates.
