Many employers do not consider education and training to be their responsibility and look to education institutions and government to develop the work-ready recruits they need for business success. However, where employers are involved in education, they are often influenced by government policy rather than setting the agenda themselves. This Seminar looks at how employers, government and the education sector can work towards a successful, shared agenda based on UK’s employer led model. The programme will include visits to three UK major employers that will share their experience with delegates through case studies. To download a draft programme, please click here.
