GILE Journal of Skills Development

In this issue, we look at skills from a range of perspectives – from how we define them and develop them through education and work, to how they are recognised in today’s changing world. The fourteen contributions explore topics including digitalisation, employability, entrepreneurship, mentoring, wellbeing and microcredentials, offering plenty of ideas to think about.
