Dr. Ruth Freeman:

Lifelong learning is particularly important in the field of STEM and we need to think about how to encourage people to see it as a viable option, accepting people have a lot on their plates already. I come back to one of my initial points around digital literacy. There will be a slew of opportunities available, perhaps free, for people comfortable working in the digital space, interacting with artificial intelligence and taking microcredentials online. I come back to the fundamental point that those who are digitally literature will have access to far more opportunities throughout their life. If we can give people those solid foundations, we will give them access to an awful lot of opportunity.
