Podcast - Work-based learning

As part of our work on DYW and Curriculum Innovation we have become increasingly aware that well developed and implemented Career Pathway and Work-based learning offers such as Foundation Apprenticeships can deliver against a number of key priorities in education such as attainment, the systematic progression of skills and positive stained destination.
This Podcast explores the importance of the topic both nationally as well as globally and its impact on learners more widely.   
Join me, Klaus Mayer (ES Curriculum Innovation & DYW), Andrew Ritchie, Lead Officer for DYW at Aberdeenshire Council, Graeme Hendry, Head of Government, Parliamentary and Stakeholder Engagement at Skills Development Scotland, and my colleague, Andrew Creamer, Head of Learning, Teaching and Assessment at Education Scotland to consider some of the strategies and practicalities around the implementation of the work-based learning in secondary education.
