But the skills you have in clean energy are probably 75% the same as what you have in AI. voice-verified

So why are we dividing everyone at a young age? voice-verified

I mean, couldn't we do it more like, I guess, the American university system where you have a major, if you really are into healthcare or whatever it is, AI, whatever, you have a major... voice-verified

But you learn all the other things as well. voice-verified

I hate the way we like silo ourselves off because so many young people don't know all the jobs out there. voice-verified

I learned loads from these apprentices about all the different jobs they didn't know exist that they now do in data science. voice-verified

You know, like Olivia, you heard who works for Amazon. voice-verified

She never had any clue about the engineering jobs in Amazon. voice-verified

Why would she? voice-verified

So why would you silo yourself off? voice-verified

at such a young age, wouldn't it be better to go, right, your overarching subject is health and social care. voice-verified

That's what you've taken an interest in. voice-verified

But we're also going to make sure you know about AI and you know about communication and you know about, I don't know, dealing with tricky situations, all of these things. voice-verified

But yeah, as soon as you say that, loads of people start coming out going, you're watering down the education system. voice-verified

It's really annoyed me that I've heard that because is doing vocational training watered down skills? voice-verified

I'm sorry, but I would much rather have an electrician who's done an apprenticeship than I would have someone who read about it in a book and managed to do a memory test on it. voice-verified

And that's the difficulty you're dealing with is society's view that... voice-verified

Pure academics is the only way to recognise skills and people get siloed so easily when they're young. voice-verified

Who has a clue? voice-verified

I don't even know what our next career might be, Robert. voice-verified
