John Craven, former Director of the UK’s Social Mobility Commission and current Executive Officer of System 2 – a registered charity in Australia – explores social mobility from numerous angles, including education, employability, social networks and intergenerational dynamics.

Among the various insights discussed, we explore how the school readiness gaps successfully tackled during children’s early years can widen again in primary and secondary education.

We also look at social mobility from a corporate angle and explore what companies can do in their recruitment and internal audits to ensure excellence not just in recruitment but also throughout career progression.

This is a highly informative episode for anyone who cares about social mobility.
