Me - "Had a great informal unscripted chat with Clare Chambers from Skills Lens about how I got into my first learning technologist role (including some tips) and potential career pathways. Particularly useful for members who are working in FE and skills sectors or are looking to do a Level 3 apprenticeship in this type of role."
Clare - "Check out our first 'Pathway Leaders' (unscripted) chat with Daniel Scott - fellow Yorkshire native and industry expert in learning technology pathways at Nottingham Trent University.
