People’s experience of industry, education and employment is critical to achieving both individual aspirations, and in aggregate, creating a healthy and productive society.

The rise of AI is already changing how people learn and work, and how organisations build and use capability.

Industry is facing pressure to innovative in a way that is authentically sustainable. Policy-making and sectoral strategy need a cohesive understanding of data that extends beyond any one life stage, to build a full, long-term picture.
