Our next virtual session will be focused on one of the biggest questions for our sector: What skills will matter most in the next 2–3 years?
What’s on the Agenda
- Identify emerging critical skills for the future
- Share creative approaches to upskilling and reskilling
- Discover how data can guide skills mapping and investment decisions
- Advocate for skills-based hiring and progression
Key Questions
- Which skills are emerging – and how do we spot them early?
- What upskilling/reskilling strategies have worked (or not worked)?
- How can data drive smarter decisions?
- How do we champion skills-based hiring and progression?
