We raised our young people; now we need to trust them | Anna Spencer | TEDxNHS

Anna challenges our assumptions about qualifications when recruiting staff. A more experienced applicant could write a more convincing application however this may not reflect their potential to do the job at hand. In the face of mass job vacancies Anna asks, what's stopping us taking a risk on someone who doesn't have the formal qualifications that we believe are 'essential criteria'. Anna is a healthcare commissioner living and working in Wales. Having left school at 16 with no higher level qualifications Anna seeks to challenge assumptions about the capabilities of young people and the requirement for formal qualification in a climate of workforce vacancies and perceived skills gaps. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
