What. A. Mess. 🫢

Each Sunday we will spotlight an area of research recently published in JVET and open the conversation to you. Share your thoughts on our spotlight, network, and connect with the community. This week we ask do Sector Skills Councils meet policy expectations? #SpotlightSundays

Picked this up in October but then got very busy and put it back down. Jumped into it this morning, so good! It is surely essential reading.
