Network
The Future Skills Research Network is an expanding and diverse group of scholars, experts, practitioners and other stakeholders actively engaged in research on future skills and the future of work. This national network is helping to inform and advance the Future Skills Centre’s research agenda by providing access to network members’ deep experience with skills development and their subject matter and methodological expertise. The Future Skills Research Network is also designed to help facilitate knowledge sharing and spark collaborations between members, both as a part of the Centre’s work as well as the wider future skills research agenda.
