Largest fall in over 50s in work since records began! FE Soundbite Weekly Journal #636

Welcome to FE Soundbite Weekly Journal Edition #636

Sorry for the sensational title of this week’s FE Soundbite – but that is a very, very concerning trend that ONS is finding on the latest labour market figures.

We have a great sector response article here: Low unemployment masks largest fall in labour force participation among over-50s since records began!! Someone who is 50, has nearly 20 years left until retirement. This is a very worrying stat!

Have you liked the mini series from Campaign from Learning on Levelling up – this is a 18 part series with perspectives and views from across the sector. Well worth a cuppa (maybe a cheeky biscuit) and checking it out.

We also had three very cool AI and VR articles this week:

  1. Jisc on AI improving efficiency and efficacy, 
  2. How VR is a game changer by Bodyswaps and
  3. NCFE’s Dean Blewitt on how AI can support emotional and social development.  

So many cool articles for you this week in FE Soundbite.

Gavin, CEO and Founder, FE News and FE Careers
