"Learning opens us out that we can see more of what we still need to learn – it draws us into wider conversations that whisper to us of more distant voices that we did not even know we had ignored – and, when we finally hear those voices, they will speak to us of still more distant, still more unexpected, voices waiting on the edges of our perception"

May 2022

It is so exciting to be chairing a program committee planning a unique and innovative global work integrated learning unconference which will start/launch on the 1st of July 2022 (with a talk about Nick Shackleton-Jones), develop towards a day event on on the 27th of July (with a talk by Prof Tony Wall and a panel by Gen Z Talks) and then continue in project partnerships until July 2023. One such partnership is two special journal editions from the unconference with Emerald Insight. I am chair of the guest editorial team.

February 2023

What a month February 2023 has been and all on national apprenticeship week! I was featured in a Radio 1 and UCAS recording  plus I did a TEDx talk in London plus I appeared on BBC Radio Kent plus I was on a vlog by UVAC and Careers Camp!! This all ties in with my new post at Kent Business School as Reader (Associate Professor) and Director of Studies for Higher Degree Apprenticeships which I started in October 2022. I embark this year also on a 5-year research project mapping the career journey of GenZ apprentices.

July 2022

Since January 2022, I have been running a podcast on anchor and Spotify interviewing work integrated learning guests. Click on the image above to go to the episodes. It is an exciting new venture as it allows me to showcase key voices and experiences from around the world. Thus far the first 14 episodes have covered major national and international work integrated institutions and their challenges. September onward I will be exploring career development and how people share their career especially Gen Z.
