The focus on apprenticeships and technical education as a means of decreasing the UK's skills gap is offering an increasing number of different pathways into bioscience careers. A close relationship between education providers and industry is a key component of making these new routes a success. In this article, we explore the value of vocational training with Malcolm Skingle, Amy Mercer and Stephen Stewart, who highlight its benefits to companies and students alike.
