Another observation, about the new #Post16 #Skills #WhitePaper is that we're at the point in the cycle where it's deemed appropriate to make statements like:

"We will also seek employers’ views about whether the academic system is giving graduates the skills and knowledge they need for the workplace"

As if #apprenticeship trailblazers never took place or that #universities are somehow disinterested in securing fruitful outcomes for their learners.

Is it's time to wheel this out again
