Strategic Advisory Board
We have set up a Strategic Advisory Board to provide independent advice, support and challenge to The Skills Imperative 2035 programme team on strategic issues or risks.
The Strategic Advisory Board’s purpose is to act as a sounding board for Jude Hillary, the Principal Investigator, and other programme co-investigators, to advise and provide constructive challenge on approaches to the research, such as overall design, methods, analysis, interpretation, policy application, reporting and dissemination.
This Board is chaired by Mary Curnock Cook, CBE and comprises a mixture of policymakers and policy influencers, employers and industry representatives, education and skills leaders, research and technical experts.
