Welcome to Episode 1 of Unlocking Opportunities, a new livestream season in partnership with FE News and NCFE. Episode 1 is exploring Labour’s first 100 days in office and what this has meant for Further Education, Skills and Employability.

The season is hosted by Michael Lemin from NCFE and Gavin O’Meara from FE News. Episode 1 has Juliette Collier, National Director of Campaign for Learning and Anna Ambrose, Co-founder and director at Workwhile as guests.
