I’m delighted to welcome Michelle to Learning and Work Institute. She brings great expertise in lifelong learning and will help to shape our work across learning, skills and employment.

It is a huge privilege to be joining the team at Learning and Work Institute. I have worked alongside the organisation for a number of years and am excited to get the chance to lead their work in Wales at a time when lifelong learning, skills and access to employment could not be more important.
