Developed collectively with the CTEC network, the programme brings together expertise from further education leaders across the country who are directly involved in delivering construction skills training on the ground. It has been designed to connect policy ambition with employer demand and real delivery capability, highlighting what is working well, where challenges remain and how the sector can scale impact at pace.
Across the event, discussions will focus on securing a sustainable construction skills pipeline at a time of acute workforce pressure, raising quality and consistency in construction education nationally, the role of employers in shaping provision, how FE collaboration can move from competition to coordinated delivery, and creating clear, credible progression routes into higher-level and future skills. The sessions will feature senior leaders from further education, national employers, sector bodies, local and strategic authorities and central government.
