Developing Workforce Skills in Greater Birmingham
Sponsored by:
The future of Greater Birmingham’s economy depends on a skilled and adaptable workforce. Ensuring effective structures are in place to support skills development is critical to retaining local talent and supporting business growth.
Recent data from the Q3 Quarterly Business Report found that 60% of Greater Birmingham businesses faced recruitment difficulties last quarter, with almost half attributing these challenges to a lack of suitably skilled applicants.
With this in mind, the Q4 Quarterly Business Report launch event will focus on ‘Developing Workforce Skills in Greater Birmingham.’ The event will bring together local policymakers and business leaders to discuss the current direction of skills policy and support in the region, and explore how organisations with diverse skills needs are addressing these challenges and investing in their workforce.
Alongside these discussions, delegates will receive a copy of the Q4 2025 Greater Birmingham Quarterly Business Report and gain insight into the latest survey results.
Join c.60 senior delegates for this insightful event, sponsored by Birmingham City University.
Attend for:
- Headline economic findings from the latest quarterly business report
- Expert panel discussion on developing and investing in workforce skills
- Networking opportunities with c.60 senior business leaders from across Greater Birmingham
