Employers chatting at Apprenticeship Conference

Annual Apprenticeship Conference for Employers

Friday 6 March 2026 – 9am – 12pm at University of Staffordshire

Apprenticeship reforms and introduction of the Growth and Skills Levy demonstrate a renewed focus on skills and productivity.

This year’s conference brings together a fantastic line-up of speakers, including senior leaders, policy experts and real learner voices. They’ll share practical insights into the changes ahead, what they mean for employers and providers, and how organisations can make the most of the opportunities emerging.

From government priorities to employer-driven change, our annual conference offers insights, networking, and actionable strategies to help you anticipate and adapt to the year ahead.
