- Episode 10 - Skills Gap
There are plenty of opportunities but not enough people applying. Why? Because applicants don’t realise that they have the skills to suit the roles.
Also, how do we educate the next generation for roles that don’t exist at the moment?
These are just a couple of issues addressed throughout this podcast.

- Rabbie Burns and transferable skills have more in common than you think
We discuss what transferable skills are, how to identify them and how to be more confident about applying the skills to a role.
Many people don’t apply for a jobs as they feel that the skills they have won’t transfer to a new role, in most cases this isn’t the case and, with the help of our guests, we try and explain the implications this may have on an applicant.
