He is also a technology expert with a Semiconductor Physics PhD from the University of Cambridge.
Kirill said:
“I am passionate about the technology that is helping to lower the rising cost of education, to enable more accessible, flexible, and engaging learning, and to improve access to jobs and career enhancement opportunities. I am excited about the opportunity to advance vocational education in the UK, which could learn a lot from some successful European examples such as that of Swizterland, where I was based before. As for technology, that really is one of the best ways to lower the costs thus broadening access to skills and career mobility.”
The addition of Sarah and Kirill to Ufi's Board of Trustees marks an exciting chapter in our journey of using the power of technology to ensure everyone is included in the UK skills system.
