About this listen

 Following a few helpful comments from followers of our weekly chat we decided to focus a little more on adult education in this SPOTLIGHT edition. Simon Parkinson, CEO of the long established Workers Education Association (WEA) who was a guest on the weekly Frank and Stan Chat in August 2021 agreed to come back and provide an update on developments since then. We cover a host of issues including how the skills agenda is shifting nationally and the increasingly influential role of Regional Mayors, the continuing need to provide support for those needing to get into work, the changes to the rules around English and Maths to gain apprenticeships and how the need for specific skills are shifting with time. We even consider the skills required by stan's father in designing and making the steam engines that are on display in his office. Still relevant today? Enjoy.
