How can national and local skills policies encourage collaboration between universities, colleges and employers to drive productivity, innovation and growth?

In our latest podcast, Chris Millward, Professor of Practice in Education Policy at the School of Education, University of Birmingham talks to Peter Creticos, President and Executive Director, at the Institute for Work and the Economy in Chicago and Ewart Keep, Professor of Education, Training and Skills at the University of Oxford, about skills policy and practice in the UK, the US and around the world.

They discuss how universities, colleges and employers can work together to improve skills, how national and local governments can encourage this, and how it might improve productivity, innovation and growth.

This podcast was inspired by the University and Regions Policy Forum. The forum aims to bring together researchers with policymakers and practitioners to understand levelling pp and respond to the challenges it presents.
