How will Generative AI shape the future of qualifications and assessment? 🤖📚 At the recent Federation of Awarding Bodies (FAB) annual conference, Paddy Craven FIEP, Director of Policy and Strategic Partnerships at City & Guilds, spoke with FE News to explore this very topic. Patrick discussed the role of Generative AI (GenAI) and its potential impact on qualification production, assessment processes, and the future of learning. 💬 “For me, what we are trying to develop in people – whether they are young people or people in the existing workforce – is how to make the most effective use of the tool (GenAI) and how to do it in an informed way.” Watch the full interview to hear Patrick’s insights on how Awarding Organisations and industries alike can harness AI responsibly to drive innovation and improve outcomes. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eAVjE3Gs https://lnkd.in/esCj8gY4 #GenAI #FAB2024 #SkillsChangeLives #CityAndGuilds

Domestic and commercial energy are critical in the push for net zero. However, according to the Skills4Climate report from the Electrical Contractors’ Association, almost half of electrical employers don’t currently have access to the skilled employees they need to complete solar PV or electrical energy storage systems (EESS) work. To help meet this demand, we have launched new Level 3 Solar PV and Electrical Energy Storage Systems qualifications, designed to provide electricians with the required skills and knowledge to work with these technologies safely. Read our latest article and speak to our teams about delivering these green technology qualifications by requesting a call back: https://lnkd.in/ds76XrWG New solar PV and electrical energy storage qualifications: Upskilling electricians for the energy transition - News https://lnkd.in/df6ZtRv2 ECA - Excellence in Electrotechnical and Engineering Services #NetZero #GreenSkills #RenewableEnergy #SkillsGap #CityAndGuilds
