Show Notes

Host Gemma Casey and guests Sharon Davidson, Associate Lecturer, The Open University (OU); Darren Jones, Senior Manager for Partnerships, OU in Wales; and Cerith Rhys Jones, Senior Manager for External Affairs, OU in Wales discuss the OU’s Business Barometer 2024 and what it says about skills in Wales. With skills shortages having an impact on businesses and employees, and only 6% of firms in Wales having a written skills plan, the guests consider the benefits of lifelong learning and opportunities around green skills and technologies such as AI.
