Manchester Met’s ‘Leading the conversation’ series brings together University experts to share insight on the issues shaping industries, economies, and society today.

The series offers evidence-led perspectives, practical knowledge, and forward-thinking ideas designed to support organisations, decision-makers, and partners.

In the first episode, James Walker, Director of Apprenticeships at Manchester Met, explores the rapidly changing landscape of apprenticeships and what it means for employers, learners and regional economies.

Reflecting on a decade of degree apprenticeship excellence, James discusses vital next steps for employers to influence and engage with the evolving national conversation around the skills landscape, and shares how Manchester Met is adapting its apprenticeship provision, strengthening employer partnerships and maintaining sector-leading quality.
