The UK Skills Revolution Series
Building a data-driven skills system in an era of disruption
About the Series
We've just released a new report - The UK Skills Revolution: Building a data-driven skills system in an era of disruption - which looks at skills disruption across the labour market, with a particular focus on the priority sectors highlighted by Skills England. In addition to the report, we’ve got a host of events lined up to consider its findings, including two webinars; three innovation sessions; a training session; and a collaborator group. The webinars are open to everyone to join; the innovation sessions and training sessions open to Lightcast customers only; and the collaborator group invite-only. Check out the details below, and if you haven't already done so, get your copy of this exciting report now.
Open to Everyone
February Webinar
The UK labour market is undergoing a skills revolution, as disruptive innovation changes the skills needed to perform many roles. Watch the recording of our webinar from 4th February, where we dived into our new report to bring a data-driven approach to the challenges we are seeing. As well as looking at skills disruption in general, the webinar focused on the priority sectors highlighted by Skills England, and the implications of our findings for education providers, government, and employers.
March Webinar
Our report makes the case that a modern skills system must be underpinned by solid data that can track current and emerging skills needs. Easier said than done, but the good news is we have already created world-leading skills, occupations, and jobs taxonomies that make sense of the workforce in an era of change. Join us on 18th March as we walk you through how we created these taxonomies and how they can be used to build a skills system fit for the 21st century.

Customer Innovation Groups
Training Session
In our report, we used data to look at some of the key trends in the four priority sectors identified by Skills England: Digital Technology (including AI and Cyber Security); the Green Workforce; Housebuilding and Construction; and Life Sciences. As we wrote in the report, the data we used is available for users of our Analyst platform. Join us for this customer training session at 10am on Thursday 6th March, where we’ll show you how to get this data for your region or sector of focus from the tool.
Collaborator Group
As we round off our UK Skills Revolution series, what have we learned about the current state of skills disruption, both generally and in Skills England's priority sectors, and what are the main considerations we need to be thinking about in terms of building future-ready skills system? These are just some of the questions we’ll be considering in this Collaborator Group session, where we’ll be bringing together a panel of key stakeholders from across different sectors for a discussion on our findings and the future. This event is by invitation only.
