Latest news, analysis, and insights into the further education and skills sector.
In this interview, Bridgehead’s Managing Director, William Walter, sits down with Adam Thompson, Labour MP for Erewash.
Prior to his election in 2024, Adam worked at the University of Nottingham as a research scientist, including a stint teaching degree apprenticeships in Foundation Engineering and Physical Sciences.
In the interview, Adam reflects on his experience teaching degree apprenticeships, and explains why he sees so much potential in them. He also considers more widely the challenges facing the UK’s skills sector – and how a concerted effort to drive up the awareness and availability of apprenticeships is key to tackling these.
Adam hones in on the opportunities apprenticeship offer in Erewash – including after recent announcements committing to the development of small modular reactors in Derbyshire.
Both Will and Adam reflect on how apprenticeships will adjust or contribute to the industries of the future – including the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence.
