  • Summary

  • In this podcast, the third in the OU’s series on the UK skills landscape, Alwen Williams, Portfolio Director at Ambition North Wales, talks to Martha Lane Fox, CBE, Chancellor at the OU and President at the BCC. They discuss plans to develop skills and careers for local people, with a strong focus on sustainability, climate change and the needs of future generations in North Wales.

    Ambition North Wales is looking to invest £1 billion over the next 15 years, creating up to 4,000 new jobs in the economy. It is particularly interested in developing career paths for young people in key industries and in sectors where there is a marked scarcity of skills, such as in the green economy, in digital and project management. It is 20 years since devolution in Wales and with a new first minister in post, Alwen thinks now is the perfect time for future planning. “It gives us the opportunity as a nation to really get under the skin of what today’s issues are and how we plan and develop programmes and projects for the future.”
