Headshot of Hayaatun Sillem with the quote: The Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper makes a fair assessment of the significant challenges facing Higher Education, and builds on the welcome recognition in the Industrial Strategy of the importance of closing the perilous engineering skills gap in the UK. The Academy will shortly be launching a major new initiative – the Skills Centre – to provide a focal point for multi-sector collaboration at scale to address this gap. We look forward to working with Skills England, government and partners across the profession to take this initiative forward.
