This month's podcast features John Skelton and Richard Parr talking about the future of skills and training in the RACHP sector.  They discuss at why everyone is going to have to up their game, as far as skills go, to achieve net zero objectives.  From fundamentals to new technologies, integration to behaviours.  We ask what does the future hold for training and how can we as individuals make a difference.

And for those interested in following up on some of the STEM initiatives that John and Richard mention in the discussion there are some links at the IOR website here https://ior.org.uk/careers
