Lucy Hawkins | Group Director — Future Skills & Growth
“Leading the Future Skills & Growth Team is a privilege, and I’m incredibly proud of what we are building at UCS College Group.
Our aim is to be a trusted workforce development partner to employers, working alongside them to understand their ambitions, anticipate future skills needs and deliver solutions that help their businesses and people thrive. From developing existing workforces and building future talent pipelines to addressing critical skills gaps and improving organisational performance, we connect employers with the skills, training and talent they need to grow and succeed.
Our relationships with employers gives us valuable insight into the changing world of work and by understanding these challenges, opportunities and emerging skills needs, we help to influence the development of a responsive, forward-looking training offer that reflects real employer demand, supports economic growth and creates meaningful opportunities for students.
I’m excited about the impact the team can make in shaping the future of workforce development, by strengthening partnerships, championing innovative skills solutions and extending our reach to ensure UCS College Group makes a lasting difference to businesses, individuals and communities, both regionally and beyond.”
