How Can Skills and Higher Education Help a Labour Government Boost Social Mobility and Economic Growth?

Hosted by

Manchester Metropolitan University
At a time when the UK faces pressing skills shortages and the need to boost productivity, higher education and training will be central to delivering Labour’s missions for growth, opportunity and fairness. Universities and their partners in industry have a vital role in creating the higher-level skills pipelines that support innovation, strengthen regional economies and widen life chances.

Join us for a timely discussion on how skills and higher education can power social mobility and economic renewal.

Speakers will include Baroness Smith of Malvern, Minister of State for Skills; Professor Malcolm Press CBE DL, Vice-Chancellor, Manchester Metropolitan University; Dr Rebecca Montague, Research Director, Social Market Foundation.
