#ASETConnect heard from a range of employers about the issues they are facing due to Covid-19 and from global colleagues reacting to the challenges. #ASETConnect also provided members with an opportunity to consider their own CPD through ‘20 min Toolkit’ sessions, to gain insight into new and current research, and to reflect on all we’ve learnt throughout the year and consider how best we can look towards the year ahead.
