The Apprenticeships and Training Conference (ATC) will feature a dynamic programme of keynotes, workshops, and discussions designed to challenge thinking, share best practices, and spark new ideas in apprenticeships and training.
About
The Apprenticeships and Training Conference (ATC) is recognised for bringing together an exceptional mix of speakers, and the upcoming edition continues that tradition. Our plenary sessions will feature influential voices from across the apprenticeships and training landscape, alongside leading figures from other sectors who bring fresh perspectives. Their insights will challenge assumptions, broaden thinking and spark the kind of development and change that drives the sector forward. Delegates will hear directly from senior policymakers, sector leaders and prominent thinkers shaping the future of skills and work.
The workshop programme brings together a wide range of specialists from government bodies, major employers and leading training organisations. Covering topics from policy and funding to emerging technologies, delivery models and best practice, each speaker offers practical experience and grounded expertise to help attendees navigate the opportunities and challenges ahead.
ATC is your opportunity to connect with the people influencing the evolution of workforce development. The ideas and discussions shared across the event are designed to inspire, support professional growth and strengthen collaboration across the skills ecosystem. Join us to learn from those driving progress within and beyond the sector.
