How can schools and colleges prepare young people for a technological life and help tackle the technical skills gap?

  • February 22, 2023 5:30 PM - 9:30 PM
  • Online or in person at the Royal Society

How do we prepare the next generation for a technological life – and at the same time help to tackle the technical skills gap? What should schools and FE colleges be contributing to post-16 technical education, and how can we ensure that the right skills are taught at schools pre-16 to enable that post-16 technical education to be a success? Is the role of Further Education fully understood in discussions about post-16 and post-18 technical education? These were some of the questions that were discussed during this event.
