The Townsend Lecture

With extensive leadership experience across technology, innovation and skills development, Phil has spent much of his career working to connect industry and education. He is now helping to shape Skills England’s vision of “Better Skills for Better Jobs” — ensuring the UK has a highly skilled workforce, supporting economic growth and opportunity, and contributing to reducing skills shortages.

Skills England’s priorities include understanding the nation’s skills needs, improving the skills offer, simplifying access to skills, and working with employers and partners to develop solutions that meet national, regional and local skills needs.

This connects directly with the aims of our EDGE Curriculum: bridging the skills gap and ensuring that young people are equipped with the skills and opportunities they need for the future.
