The East Midlands Employability and Skills Summit will once again bring together some of the region’s prominent thinkers in this area in a day of collaboration
Employers continue to report a shortfall in skilled labour, and prosperity rests on having access to a skilled, productive workforce. Delivering against the Chamber’s
goal to “Support the development of current and future workforce in the East Midlands” the 2019 summit will show how the region can address this challenge with the aim of developing an environment where there is a bright future for our local economies, communities, young people and those furthest away from the job market. The summit will explore issues
and potential solutions – providing delegates with practical takeaways to support the development of their current and future workforce.
Detail from the Chamber’s Q1 Quarterly Economic Survey shows: • Investment intentions – we are seeing a downward trend across the board, of particular concern is businesses intentions to invest in training – this score is the lowest it has been since immediately after the referendum in the summer of 2016
• Sixty per cent of businesses are reporting difficulties in
Date: 9 July 2019 Time: 8.30am-1.30pm Venue: Loughborough University, West Park Teaching Hub
Price: Members £20+VAT, Non-members £75+VAT
recruitment. These results came during a quarter when unemployment in the East Midlands continued to rise (as opposed to the rest of the country where it is falling) suggesting local issues not being experienced elsewhere in the UK
• When asked which factors were more of a concern than three months ago, access to skilled labour remains consistently high on employer’s agendas.
Confirmed agenda items include: • Envisioning the Future of Education and Jobs: Trends, data and drawings – Dr Elnaz T. Kashefpakdel, Head of Education and Employer’s Research
• Career-Related Learning: Why Primary? – Dr Deirdre Hughes OBE
• Working in Partnership – Marion Plant OBE, Principal and CEO,
North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College, CEO of the Midland Academies Trust – Education and Business
• Panel discussion: How do employers and education work closer together to develop mutually beneficial outcomes?
• Keynote: Leading by example, a business exemplar case study on strategies employed to improve recruitment, retention, productivity and how to support the community and young people
• Keynote: How a large infrastructure project plans for attracting and developing their skills needs – lessons to be learnt in developing pipelines of talent
• Panel discussion: How do we develop an inclusive recruitment strategy to support those furthest from the workplace? Looking at meaningful engagement and understanding the range of untapped talent available
• Close - networking, exhibitors and buffet lunch
