Spotlight on ETF podcasts: 3 episodes you can’t miss!
In January 2021 we launched Skills Factory, our very first series of podcasts. We dreamed of engaging in lively conversations with a variety of educational and labour market experts, to bring new ideas and narratives to light. Two years and a half and 30 episodes later, we looked back at these conversations and compiled for you the three most popular ones…
Skills for tomorrow: What can you do to be ready for the post-pandemic world of work?
A discussion on the skills that will be needed in the future world of work and how people can prepare themselves for the constantly changing labour market. We also touched upon the new trends in recruitment processes and how the unemployed people can increase their chances of getting a job.
Inclusive education: A myth or a problem?
The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented level of disruption in the world of education. For more than 1.2 billion students globally, face-to-face classes stopped. At least 463 millions of school learners could not benefit from digital and online learning. Being inclusive and ensuring access to education for all remains one of the biggest challenges for education and educators worldwide.
Education on the brink: Why a global vision is crucial
In this conversation we asked ourselves: What does it mean to have a global vision of education? Could it be a solution for fit-for-purpose and more inclusive education systems? What are the challenges and opportunities facing education and training worldwide, including the impact of artificial intelligence? ETF director, Pilvi Torsti, highlighted the global crisis facing education today and the issues that educators and learners need to address urgently.

ETF podcast #30 – Platform work: Digital futures
What is the impact of digital platforms on work and skills? What are the challenges and benefits of platform-based employment? Is there a gender issue? Are platform workers at risk of economic inequality? This 30th episode of our Skills Factory podcast series highlights the growing influence of digital platforms (such as Uber, Airbnb, Deliveroo) on the labour market and the implications for individuals, businesses, and society. The conversation also emphasises the need for proactive measures to address the labour market evolving dynamics.
