Education has always been connected to the world of work. But what happens when jobs, skills and career pathways change faster than education systems can adapt? 

Technological change and shifting economies are transforming labour markets, prompting employers, graduates and young people to reconsider what education should provide. The relationship between learning and employment is becoming increasingly complex.

In the first episode of Around Education, Vera Maltseva, Director of the Centre for Vocational Education and Skills Development at the HSE Institute of Education, and Santosh Mehrotra, Visiting Professor at the Centre for Development Studies at the University of Bath, explore how education systems respond to a changing world of work. They discuss whether education can solve employment challenges on its own, why some educational pathways gain more recognition than others, and what the future of learning may look like.
