The roundtable will provide an opportunity for levy and non levy employers to share their experiences of recent funding changes, explore what is no longer working, and influence the design of alternative or replacement pathways that better reflect commercial and operational reality.

“Employers are currently facing some difficult choices following recent apprenticeship funding changes,” said Claire Lane - Head of Employer Engagement. “This roundtable is about listening to employers and making sure future leadership and skills provision is practical, sustainable and shaped by real experience.”

A Focus on Employer Led Insight

The session will focus on sector agnostic leadership, management, improvement and digital skills programmes.

Rather than a presentation or consultation exercise, the roundtable is intended to be an interactive, employer led discussion. Insights gathered will directly inform future programme design and skills provision.

Shaping What Comes Next

As the skills landscape evolves, employer input is critical to ensuring future provision is relevant, sustainable and aligned to real workforce priorities. This roundtable aims to ensure that future programmes support productivity, progression and long term capability across organisations.

The session is open to employers interested in influencing the future direction of skills and apprenticeship routes, regardless of sector.
