Now re-named CA Briefing, this edition is the first since the launch of The Case for Cambridge. So unsurprisingly the Chairman’s foreword concentrates on devolution and that of the CEO on engaging with central Government.
It’s clear from the whole content that much progress has been made since our last newsletter in May, especially in Growth, Skills and Education; the former because we announced new figures in June; Skills because a new enterprise called Form the Future has been launched to enhance employer engagement with schools; and Education as a result of the Chancellor’s undertaking to overhaul schools funding in his November Spending Review. Our project groups now number 5 as a result of pairing Growth & Commercial Space, and Education & Skills.
