📢 NEW: We're pleased to reveal our blueprint for change — five steps to improve prosperity and widen opportunity by improving access to lifelong learning and good work. 💡 Find out more and download the blueprint: https://lnkd.in/eFGymGam Stephen Evans, L&W chief executive, says: "The choices we make now will chart a course toward the 2030s. We’ve set out five clear steps to start a decade of renewal in lifelong learning and a drive to help everyone that wants to work to find a job. After the declines of the last decade, we need a higher ambition for more adults in learning, more people in work, and a fairer chance for all. That’s good for our economy as well as for giving everyone a fair chance in life."
