Industry Boards

About Industry Boards

Our Industry Boards provide a platform for employers and educators to come together in meaningful collaboration. These sessions are designed to strengthen partnerships between industry and education, ensuring that curriculum, skills development, and training opportunities reflect the real needs of employers.

Through open discussion and shared insights, the Boards aim to:

  • Bridge Skills Gaps: Develop strategies to address sector-specific shortages and build a talent pipeline that’s ready for future industry demands.

  • Guide Curriculum Development: Help shape college programmes to align with current and emerging skills requirements.

  • Engage with Industry Peers: Share updates, best practices, and opportunities for collaboration across the sector.

Each Board meeting follows a focused agenda; from curriculum showcases and employer feedback to skills trends, apprenticeships, and collaboration roundtables. All leading to actionable outcomes that drive progress for both learners and industry.

Employers are encouraged to invite colleagues or peers who can contribute valuable insights to the discussion.

Upcoming Industry Boards

Our Industry Boards bring together employers and educators to shape the future of skills, training, and curriculum. These sessions are a chance to share insights, tackle skills gaps, and ensure we are preparing students for the real demands of industry.

Each board offers meaningful discussion, collaboration opportunities, and updates on current trends, from apprenticeships and emerging skills to employer challenges and quick wins.
