Delighted to attend the Early Careers Workshop yesterday to talk T Levels with some great businesses. Designed with leading employers, with 16 brilliant subjects and a mix of classroom learning and on-the-job training, T-Levels are an excellent choice after GCSEs. #TLevelsWeek

It was great to host a roundtable with my colleagues, Cost of Living Business tsar @davidjusteat , supermarkets and sport organisations 🍎🍞⚽🎾   Many #HAF2022 clubs are already being supported by these companies, but I wanted to ask what more can be done to help children.

I was delighted to open the @educationgovuk Apprenticeship Graduation Ceremony yesterday. It was great to see so many people - either at the start of their Civil Service careers or well-established professionals - come together and share their achievements. Well done, everyone!

Properly blown away tonight at the @JPFoundation @SpeakersTrust #JPSpeakOut Grand Final. Astonishing talent and skill on display from all 15 of the young finalists - an almost impossible judging job, but what a privilege.

Yesterday I had a lovely day in Sheffield, visiting Grace Owen Nursey School and DfE’s Sheffield office. It was a pleasure to meet new colleagues and to learn how Grace Owen have continued to provide an excellent EY service during this pandemic.

Thanks to everyone at @UAL for an excellent visit this morning. Great to see the huge breadth of your offer for students, their skills and creativity. Particularly impressed with the cross-disciplinary approaches and Grow Lab where students unite biology and art.
