This one day in-person conference brings together training providers, employer-providers, colleges, universities, employers, and policymakers to make sense of the latest reforms, look ahead to the upcoming Budget, and share ideas on how to turn change into practical action.​

Delegates may expect:
• Leading voices - First-hand insights from influential figures shaping the direction of skills, training and workforce development.​
• Policy to delivery - Understand the latest priorities and decisions driving skills reform, funding, and sector strategy.
• Actionable takeaways - Discover practical ideas and approaches you can put into practice
• Meaningful connections - Build relationships with providers, policymakers, employers and sector innovators.

If you are delivering, supporting, or planning skills provision, there’s plenty to digest. Foundation apprenticeships are launching, the Growth and Skills Levy is replacing the Apprenticeship Levy, and qualification reforms at Levels 2 and 3 are beginning to take effect. Alongside Ofsted’s new inspection framework, a recent Government reshuffle and upcoming Budget decisions, there is a lot in motion and a growing need to understand where to focus and what to prioritise.

This conference creates the space to step back and make sense of this shifting landscape. It brings together providers, employer-providers, FE and HE institutions, policymakers, and sector leaders to explore what these reforms mean in practice. ​It is a chance to test assumptions, hear how others are adapting, and leave with ideas, clarity, and connections to help you move forward with confidence.
