Skills World Stateside

This week, the Skills World Live Radio Show takes its popular format of informed debate and popular music all the way across the pond, to Washington D.C.!

The podcast’s UK presenter, Tom Bewick, introduces this special pilot episode of Skills World Stateside: keeping you up to date on all things American apprenticeships, skills policy and workforce development!

It’s all part of our future plans to launch an inaugural series of Skills World Stateside later in the year; with an American co-host; and commercial sponsors (UK and/or US) with apprenticeship operations in the United States.

In this episode, livestreamed on FE News – the leading digital education channel in the UK and Skills World Live Productions, Tom is joined by:

• Sophie Ruddock, VP and General Manager of Multiverse North America
• John Ladd, US Department of Labor
• Dr Mardy Leathers, Director, Missouri State Workforce Department
• Greta Bax, Executive Director, Missouri Works Initiative
• Apprentices Amy Powers and Keira Krentz
• Ryan Craig, Managing Director at Achieve Partners
• Dr Robert Lerman, Senior Fellow at the Urban Institute
