Across six short episodes, the experts involved in this work explain the different pieces of the process, from identifying occupational profiles and understanding skills demand and training opportunities, to analysing skills gaps and looking ahead at future needs.
Each video offers a short, accessible look at one part of the work behind SMARCO and the people making it happen.
