Improving social mobility requires integrated, place-based solutions.
Deputy Chair @RobWilsonRDG gave this message at a @WIGUK briefing on barriers to opportunity and how social mobility drives inclusive growth.
How can cross-sector collaboration best improve social mobility?

LWN has never believed a woman's worth can be measured by her clothes, so we will just give a sisterly shout-out to Marie-France van Heel, a brilliant woman who happens to be married to our new Prime Minister...

"Social Mobility isn’t just about university access and elite jobs - and social mobility shouldn’t mean that you have to change your social class to improve your life.”
Thank you to @AngelaRayner for her speech at our #SocialMobilitySymposium!

70% of UK workers are in occupations involving tasks that AI could potentially perform or enhance.
It's easy to see why AI ‘stealing’ jobs is a hot topic in the news. But AI also has the potential to increase opportunity and boost social mobility.
Happy St Georges Day to every proud Brummie across the City and those celebrating across the country!
