Industry Action Groups

Due to the huge amount of interest we have had for our Productivity & Sustainability Industry Action Group, we are pleased to announce the dates and invite you to a range of additional Industry Action Groups.  

Our Industry Action Groups bring together like-minded businesses, to share experiences, create an agenda for change and deliver value back to businesses. These groups will work to indentify the major barriers you face and develop solutions to improve the delivery of skills and training.

These forums also offer you the opportunity to hear firsthand about changes in policy, funding opportunities and swap information with other businesses in your sector.  
You can make a real difference:  

 • Become part of the solution
• Help shape the industry on your terms
• Fulfil your business ambition
• Push your own skills issues
• Spearhead the development of new industry training provision and qualifications
• Help benchmark performance for the entire industry  

By indentifying common themes you can actively resolve your shared issues and all gain a competitive advantage.   In addition to sharing best practice the day will provide an opportunity for us to keep you updated on industry specific projects in which you can take part.

The agenda for each Industry Action Group will include an industry specific key speaker, an overview of funding available, current projects we are working on and policy updates.    

The dates and venues for each session are listed below.  To confirm your place please email Amy Laverack: amy.laverack@improveltd.co.uk
