Emma Lewell Buck: Education & Skills
05/24/23 • 16 min
This month we are joined by Emma Lewell-Buck, MP for South Shields, to discuss the main issues with the state of the UK's manufacturing sector. Education is at the core of fixing the problem, and as it stands, there is not enough talk of the sector as a viable career option, and children are not being equipped with the practical skills needed. This episode touches on green energy as the future of manufacturing, the cost-of-living crisis, and the lack of willingness from government to commit to the sector.
