In this episode Christian is joined by Euan Blair, co-founder of tech firm Whitehat which matches apprentices with employers including Facebook, Morgan Stanley and other blue chip giants. Euan is on a mission to change the way people think about apprenticeships and to provide opportunities for disadvantaged young people and those who feel university isn't for them. He also discusses the role of the controversial apprenticeship levy; how employers can start bringing apprentices onboard; and what the exam grading fiasco tells us about education and the options facing school leavers.

Also in this episode Christian looks at Sadiq Khan's warning on a hollowed-out London; a new survey by Aviva showing optimism among employees returning to work; and the surge of holiday bookings for summer 2021.
