What's particularly interesting is that whilst the sector is acutely aware of the potential impact of technology (ie #AI) on their futures, there is a strong recognition/expectation that #apprentices on our course will have firm foundation in the basic principals of effective #DoubleEntryBookkeeping as well as advanced knowledge of #TaxLaw and legislation so that they can add value to any work that technology might be assisting them with. This seems entirely sensible to me!

@DGI CRUCIAL economic insight! Hadn't realized Graeber knew it, although of course I should have!
Thanks for posting this!
