What the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy Means for Your Career - And How to Stay Ahead

Today, the UK Government, with support from PwC, launched the Modern Industrial Strategy, a bold and long-term roadmap for reshaping the nation’s economy. Backed by billions in capital investment, the strategy outlines how the UK can become a Clean Energy Superpower, close its skills gap and lead in AI, life sciences and data over the next decade.

But what does this mean for everyday workers? For those facing redundancy due to automation or digital transformation? Or for people actively navigating a career transition?

There’s a Clear Signal - And a Clear Opportunity For You 

At the heart of the strategy is the urgent need to address the UK Skills Gap. Not just in tech and AI, but across eight identified High Growth Sectors - known as the IS-8, which include:

• Life Sciences

• Green Energy

• Advanced Manufacturing

• Creative Industries

• AI and Data

• Digital Infrastructure

• Education and Training

• Health and Social Care

If you’re in transition or considering a career move, this is your blueprint. 

The government is telling industry, and you, where the future lies. 

ReFlame is the future-facing career accelerator you need to be one step ahead. 

The Reality: People Are Still Being Trained for the Wrong Jobs

The report calls out a critical issue: a systemic failure to align training and education with real-time labour market needs. As automation reshapes industries, many are still being trained in outdated skills.

That’s where we come in.
