Bread
and
Butter
Issues
Discussed
at
The
Foundry
Picture
the
scene:
it
was
the
first
event
I
attended
after
the
Easter
break
and
I
am
impatient
to
hear
the
keynote
speech
delivered
by
the
fantastic
orator
Neil
Carberry
of
@Recruitment
and
Employment
Confederation
at
The
Foundry.
It
was
a
common
scenario
to
settle
to
be
enticed
by
the
agenda
of
the
Conference
held
in
honour
of
the
@Learning
and
Work
Institute
(whose
partnership
on
the
project
came
from
the
@Trust
for
London).
The
declarative
tone
of
Mr
Carberry
speech
was
used
to
pinpoint
the
parts
of
improvement
needed
between
skills
and
employment.
The
relationship
he
identified
as
problematic
came
from
work
and
learning
reinforcing
the
need
for
people
to
enroll
on
an
#MBA
course
in
order
to
succeed
in
the
world
of
business.
Due
to
the
fact
that
an
#MBA
course
does
not
remain
'fit
for
purpose'
in
the
fast
pace
environment
of
business.
The
unpredictable
nature
of
technology
and
its
affects
human
employment
has
become
a
disruptive
idea
on
the
bread
and
butter
issues
between
living
and
work
well.
@LearnWorkUK
was
an
opportunity
to
discuss
ideas
about
the
future
of
work
and
the
tenets
needed
for
a
progressive
workplace
experience.
#BetterWorkUK23
has
given
a
platform
for
each
attendee
to
remember
that
human
engagement
will
always
remain
inseparable
to
the
fruits
of
the
Labour
fulfilled
by
the
masses.
Participants
of
the
Breakout
Session
1:
Building
Pathways
To
Success
How
Workforce
Development
Can
Support
Business
Growth
and
Create
Progression
Pathways
For
Low
Paid
Workers
were
treated
to
industry
led
knowledge
from
a
panel
of
experts.
The
panellists
consisted
of
Naomi
Clayton
of
Learning
and
Work
Institute,
Simon
Ashworth
of
Association
of
Employment
and
Learning
Providers,
Julia
Jones
of
Trade
Union
Congress
and
David
Sheen
of
UK
Hospitality.
Each
panellist
imparted
the
wisdom
that
was
difficult
to
accept
but
the
solutions
they
provided
made
me
impatient
to
live
to
the
changes
in
the
world
of
work.
The
figure
provided
was
that
8
million
adults
do
not
have
a
Level
2
qualification
in
2023.
The
non-regulations
provisions
need
to
have
more
pathways
to
gaining
employment
via
varied
range
of
skills
should
be
provided.
It
was
a
problematic
issue
for
explaining
the
missing
workforce
were
underqualified
to
move
forward
in
terms
of
workplace
development.
It
became
apparent
to
the
stakeholders
and
the
attendees
that
the
remedy
was
to
have
guidance
to
devolve
power
by
making
locality
simplify
the
world
of
work.
By
doing
this
it
would
make
the
multinational
companies
opt
into
the
agenda
of
upskilling
their
workforce.
For
instance
employees
taking
time
off
to
go
enroll
onto
a
course
would
be
beneficial
to
the
company
in
the
long-term.
A
further
embodiment
of
the
hope
provided
by
this
conference
came
from
the
second
breakout
session
I
attended
entailed
'Creating
Healthy
Workplaces:
Exploring
The
Vital
Link
Between
Job
Quality
And
Health
&
Wellbeing.
The
panellists
consisted
as
follows
-
Jill
Rutter
of
Learning
and
Work
Institute,
David
Finch
of
Health
Foundation,
Elizabeth
Bachrad
of
Business
For
Health,
Conor
D'Arcy
of
Money
&
Mental
Health
Policy
Institute
and
Voirrey
Walsh
of
NHS
Providers.
The
ethos
given
by
Learning
and
Work
Institute
has
been
interwoven
by
the
five
worded
slogan
of
'Making
learning
and
work
count'.
It
was
an
advertising
ploy
used
to
show
the
verbs
'making'
and
'learning'
were
interconnected
and
remained
fundamental
to
the
future
generations
of
institutionalising
the
process
of
working
well.
Each
sector
of
employment
exists
to
effectively
and
efficiently
ensure
that
'work
counts'.
The
combined
relationship
between
the
noun
'work'
and
the
verb
of
'counts'
push
forward
the
notion
of
each
individual
being
paid
well
for
their
time
spent
in
employment.
It
was
an
ambitious
slogan
for
the
Learning
and
Work
Institute
to
emblazon
on
their
posters
across
the
event
held
at
The
Foundry
to
prove
that
they
were
committed
to
ensuring
that
work
lives
up
to
their
high
expectations
in
the
future.
