Authenticity in the world of ChatGPT
|
|
|
|
|
| It's likely you've heard how capable ChatGPT is at crafting detailed responses to questions, writing poems and translating languages.
But when it comes to learners' assessments, the use of ChatGPT is something we need to be on the look-out for.

2022 Annual Employer Survey - the results are in
|
|
|
|
|
Our sixth annual employer survey was conducted back in Nov/Dec, and while our response rate was lower than previous years, it was pleasing to see overall satisfaction remaining relatively stable with previous years. As we have done for each of the last 5 years, we have spent significant time analysing the results, and all employer verbatim feedback to identify any themes emerging. We have distilled all this down into the report that we are now pleased to share with you – this details the topline results, key findings, and also shares the actions that we have committed to address areas of concern.
We hope you can take the time to review the report, and welcome the opportunity to discuss any aspects further. As always however, we do welcome your feedback at any time.
