Customer Training Session
In this training session, Lightcast's Account Director, Lester Biddle, takes customers through the IS-8 industries we've built into our Analyst tool, how they can be used to uncover key insights on jobs and skills in a region, and how this data can support an organisation’s strategic planning and decision-making in relation to the Industrial Strategy.
Customer Innovation Sessions
In this session, our Account Director for Further Education, Alex Kennedy, talks to Ben Owen, Vice Principal (Business Growth, Skills & Partnerships) at DN Colleges Group, about how labour market data can inform curriculum design and delivery, and how it can be used to equip young people and adults with the skills needed for today’s economy.
In this session, our Account Director for Government and Communities, Will Cookson, is joined by James Clayton, Senior Analyst at Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, to look at how they are using data to inform their strategic decisions, shape their interventions, and guide their investments.
In this session, our Account Director for Higher Education, Carrie Williams, chairs a discussion on how up-to-date jobs and skills insights can be used in horizon scanning to identify emerging trends, so that universities can better anticipate emerging jobs and skills to shape courses that support the industries of the future.
In this session, our Senior Sales Director, Grant Telfer, chairs a discussion on how labour market insights can enhance the credibility of professional bodies as the voice of their sector, enabling them to improve the support they are able to offer their members, and ensure their qualifications remain relevant to the future of their industry.
