Topic - Apprenticeships
Stay informed and inspired through our calendar of upcoming events focused on engineering and digital sectors.
Our series of events brings together professionals, employers, and emerging talent across the engineering and digital sectors. Whether you’re focused on upskilling your workforce, recruiting new talent, or building a sustainable skills pipeline, these sessions provide a vital space to connect, share knowledge, and drive innovation.
In response to the ongoing skills shortage in these sectors, our events explore how apprenticeships, upskilling programmes, and work-based learning are helping to bridge critical gaps. They’re equally valuable for individuals looking to advance their careers or diversify their skillsets in these fast-evolving industries.
Hear from industry leaders and practitioners, gain insights into emerging technologies and technical trends, and discover practical strategies for workforce development.
Our commitment to sharing best practice continues beyond the sessions, with ongoing maintenance forums, digital innovation showcases, and research-led discussions, including PhD talks – ensuring a continuous exchange of cutting-edge knowledge.
These events are particularly relevant for professionals involved in talent acquisition, staff development, operational leadership, and strategic workforce planning across industries such as manufacturing, digital technology, construction, energy, and engineering services.
Join us to engage with current apprentices and employers, take part in hands-on discussions, and explore how learning and innovation can be embedded in everyday practice. Plus, experience our state-of-the-art facilities, designed to inspire creativity and practical skill development.
