Jimmy's Jobs of the Future is hiring, read more on our next chapter here and you can sign up to our newsletter here.I first met Oliver when he came into No.10 to talk to me about Kano which was a computer that young children could self build and learn about hardware, software and coding … Although, frankly it probably wouldn’t have been a bad idea for this early 30 something to have tried it at the time too. He is now running a company called Jolt in the UK, which describes itself as a business school for self made people. The world moves so fast now, that people need to be almost constantly reskilling and Jolt is helping people to do this in the modern era. They are financially backed by the partner of the second season of Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, Octopus Ventures who are part of the Octopus Group.They are built to specialise in the four areas they believe will change the world for the better: health, money, deep tech and consumer.They have backed the founding teams of more than 100 companies including Zoopla, Secret Escapes, graze.com, tails.com, Swiftkey, Depop, and Cazoo.Some of their portfolio companies have gone on to join forces with the world’s largest businesses including Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Twitter.With £1.3 billion under management and investing over £100m a year, Octopus Ventures is one of the largest and most active venture investors in Europe. Their typical investment is from £1 million for Seed to £10 million for Series B and they have funded companies who have gone on right through IPO. So today’s guest is Oliver Beech who runs Jolt in the UK, one of Octopus portfolio companies. A reminder you can follow us onInstagram: @JimmysjobsTwitter: @JimmysjobsAnd most importantly on LinkedIn.

Check out the Class Central Mooc Report and More...    Next up, a word from ClassCentral which if you’re into geeking out over online learning and MOOC reports like I am you’ll probably already know about!   It's been more than half a decade since free online courses from Stanford kicked off the modern-MOOC or massive online open courses movement. Since then more than 700 universities around the world have launched MOOCS, used by over 60 million people. Gaining insight into this fast paced world is worth spending time on (especially for those implicated by such changes). That’s where Class Central comes in.      Class Central launched at the end of 2011, and has kept track of the MOOC space right from the beginning. Not only does it list 7000+ courses, making it the #1 search engine for online courses, but the excellent MOOC report blog has deep analysis on what’s up, down, new or just slightly leftfield. With over 500+ articles written, Class Central has the most comprehensive coverage of the MOOC Industry.       I came across Class Central when I was preparing for a Department for International Trade webinar I was speaking on and found it invaluable. Since then, I met founder Dhawal Shah out at SXSWedu and he was excited to share the resource with all   of you. So definitely go and check it out at  www.class-central.com/report/ and let me know what you think!   Subscribe:  Never miss an episode!

The Exchange brings together like-minded EdTech entrepreneurs, encouraging them to exchange ideas, swap war stories, and give and receive advice from their peers. It is solely for Founders of EdTech companies who have raised at least £100,000 of financing or revenue, with many members having raised significantly more.  http://edtech.exchange/     The Edtech Podcast supports the mission of WomenEd: #WomenEd is a grassroots movement which connects existing and aspiring leaders in education. Even though women dominate the workforce across all sectors of education there still remain gender inequalities, particularly at senior leadership level. The situation regarding BME leadership is even more dire considering the fact that the student population is becoming increasingly diverse. This situation is clearly unacceptable and rapid change is needed. #WomenEd will therefore campaign and use its collective power to make improvements, so that there is a more equitable balance in terms of gender and ethnicity at leadership level across all sectors of education. http://www.womened.org/
