Ms Fiona Longmuir:

Absolutely. It is quite rare now that people enter a career and stay in that career for their entire life, until they retire. People jump around. I think that is really beneficial for physics because it teaches so many transferable skills. If someone has one physics job, it opens up many opportunities in other sectors. We have not really touched on life-long learning today but I think that will be part of the solution too. The majority of the workforce for the next 20 years have already completed their mandatory education. It is important to engage with that community too to upskill and develop these new skills for these new and emerging sectors.
