On 21 July 2020, over 60 diverse and engaged minds gathered virtually to start a powerful movement to find solutions to the global skills crisis.

“We need to collaborate and start a movement. The power of us coming together will help to solve this problem.”
The resounding impact of COVID-19 was to stop us talking about upskilling and force us to get on and do it.
Our young people are in a precarious situation. We need to help them develop the skills they need for the future.
We want to create a burning platform for the skills agenda, creating a case for change and drawing attention to this issue so that true action can be implemented.
By expanding opportunities into disadvantaged communities, we can have a real, lasting impact.
Fusion skills – not soft skills or academic skills, but a combination of both – are the future.
