Why attend?

This event is for employers, educators and industry stakeholders who want to be part of the solution rather than reacting to skills shortages as they arise.

By attending, you will:

• Help shape how apprenticeships, T Levels and qualifications evolve

• Contribute directly to a shared, industry-led month action plan

• Build relationships with peers, providers and decision-makers

• Gain clarity on how your organisation can get involved and make an impact

This is not a passive briefing. The outcomes of the day will inform the Alliance’s priorities, influence activity and future engagement with education and policy bodies.
