Skill Economy is the podcast bridging the gap between education and the real world of work. We sit down with hiring managers, founders, CEOs, and early-careers leaders to break down the skills that actually matter - from resilience and communication to problem-solving, commercial awareness, and navigating pressure. Too many companies wait until someone’s hired to start “upskilling.” We’re here to start earlier, helping students and young people build future-proof skills before day one, and helping employers connect with the next generation of talent.
