Following the publication of the Assessment of Priority Skills to 2030, join us for an insightful briefing where we will explore key insights from the report and discuss how cross-sector collaboration can build a future-ready workforce.

This briefing will bring together leaders from across the public, private and civil society sectors to discuss how we can address urgent skills needs and prepare for tomorrow’s economy.

Join us on the day to:

  • Gain insight into how organisations are approaching future skills demand and where employers and education providers can adapt training and qualifications to meet urgent industry needs in priority sectors
  • Understand the value of cross-sector partnerships by ensuring joined-up approaches between government, industry, and academia to meet rising demand for priority occupations
  • Explore approaches to addressing regional disparities by overcoming challenges related to training access and labour market needs across different regions
