Summary Notes & Webinar Video: Early Careers and Skills: Equipping the Workforce for What’s Next
CRF’s recent event explored how employers can rethink early careers strategies in
response to AI, changing skills needs, labour market pressures and evolving workforce expectations. Building on CRF’s recent research on Early Careers and Skills, developed in partnership with BPP and with additional commentary from The Oxford Group, the day combined the report’s findings with perspectives from employers, education providers and labour market experts.
Together, the sessions examined the changing context for early careers, shared practical examples of organisational approaches, and considered how employers, education providers and government can work together to build stronger routes into work.

The talent context has changed. Has your approach kept up?
This learning programme equips participants to rethink talent strategy for a more uncertain world where many of our talent approaches are based on assumptions that may no longer fully reflect today’s context. Through CRF’s research, case studies, expert input and peer discussion, participants will explore how to build more adaptive, business-aligned approaches to talent that improve outcomes for both people and the organisation.
