10 March 2015, QEII conference centre
Building Futures will bring the industry together to help improve training opportunities for young people and develop ways to build the skilled workforce we need.
The Construction Industry Training Board’s (CITB) inaugural Training Summit 2015 is being held in partnership with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Construction Leadership Council.
The aim is to bring together representatives from the industry to discuss how to widen training opportunities for young people and build the skilled workforce that local economies need.
Building Futures, which is being held at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre and is free to attend, will also see the launch of the widely anticipated Commission on Apprenticeships report on how to boost quality apprenticeships across construction and other sectors.
Working together as industry
The day will provide delegates with the unique mix of hearing the very latest insight from key Government figures alongside the opportunity to share experiences and gain practical tips from other construction businesses facing the same challenges.
Practical workshop forums and business focused seminars will complement the day’s key speeches, with opportunities to put forward your own views and ask questions of the key Ministerial speakers.
