The latest edition of the IEP Journal has arrived, guest edited by IEP Fellow of the Year and Earlybird CEO & Founder, Claudine Adeyemi Adams FIEP. Centred on the theme ‘Technology, Transformation and Innovation’, this issue delves into how technology – particularly AI – is reshaping the employability landscape.
Bringing together a stellar group of contributors from academia, industry, and frontline delivery, the edition offers a rich mix of analysis, practical insight, and forward-looking perspectives on a rapidly evolving sector.
To mark the launch last week, we were joined by David Imber FIEP, Head of the Centre for Employability Excellence (CfEE), alongside three of our featured authors: Mark Martin MBE (Urban Teacher), Becky Miles (Seetec), and Oliver Large (Tony Blair Institute). Together, they shared reflections on AI, service delivery, and what the future may hold for practitioners and participants alike.
“It is an immense pleasure to introduce this edition of the IEP Journal as the guest editor,” Claudine wrote in her introduction.
“In my experience working at the forefront of AI innovation in employability, I have seen the excitement, misconceptions and concerns around technology and, particularly AI up close.
“My own professional journey has led me to believe that our sector stands at a once-in-a-generation moment to move beyond the hype, cut through the fears, and provide a balanced and responsible view of its true potential.”
