Strategic insight into technical skills of the future
The TALENT Commission, led by Chair, Professor Sir John Holman, and a team of senior Commissioners.
Evidence has been gathered from a range of stakeholders including technicians, academics, university management, funders, students and policymakers to inform recommendations for the higher education and research sector.
The scope of the commission includes the sector’s future need for technical talent (numbers and skillsets); workforce demographics; gap analysis; analysis of changing technologies technicians use (e.g. to support laboratory teaching, increasing digitisation of research); government policy implications; and the impact of the increasing focus on collaboration (business, across universities, multidisciplinary research).
