What difference do you think the new vocational qualification reform programme will make? Given units of qualifications will be broken up for delivery - will this free up funding by offering employers funding for the bits of qualifications which they have identified as being useful for them? 23 July at 15:29 - From: Pippa John-Cooke, Open University - For: The Panel

Why should organisations receive funded learning that will only benefit their profitability and efficiency? Should not public funds be directed at ensuring all school leavers are job ready and supporting reskilling and upskilling of unemployed? Identification of real impact of training and development on the 'bottom line' as encouraged by TQS would allow organisations to make a reasoned decision regarding paying for T and D in the same way as they decide on R and D. 23 July at 15:19 - From: Mark freeman, Skills - Third Sector

In the drive to simplification, how can we create meaningful and effective targets, measures and incentives for employers, providers and government, which will unleash the full potential of women at all levels and of all ages, who work in Science Engineering and Technology?
