2025 A Year of Uncertainty & ChangeWe face another uncertain year with lots of policy changes coming out of the new Labour Government including Skills England, Growth & Skills Levy, Qualifications Review with its defunding, Foundation/short apprenticeships rolling out in 2025 and Curriculum Review. Changes are also taking place on skills policies in Scotland and Wales. The findings and recommendations arising from the ITB Review of CITB and ECITB are expected to be published early in 2025 and could have significant implications across the UK. Apprenticeship reform in England could affect EPA and how to increase the achievement rate. There will also be a push to increase the number of English students on HTQs. The English on-site T Level is ceasing.Whilst this is all happening industry has 4 key challenges it is facing:·      Reduce the major skills shortages of circa 250,000 skilled personnel up to 2027, to match the demands of a sustainable economy. A skills shortage of around 150,000 to build the 1.5 million new homes and linked with that the NHBC planned Hubs. Upskill the workforce to improve productivity. Skill the workforce to support the UK in constructing the Net-Zero and sustainable housing and infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions. Ensure compliance with the legal requirements arising from Grenfell, by improving the level of competency of the workforce.Pulling all this together we have a great conference agenda with major keynote speeches from:CITBCLC – CECAGatsbyOfsted
