Power Up Employer Webinar Series
Aligning industry with education is essential to building a future-ready workforce. By strengthening skills, upskilling existing talent and responding to change, businesses can continue to grow, adapt and thrive.
At Weston College, we understand how important it is for employers to stay informed about key developments across Further and Higher Education. From new qualifications to policy changes and funding opportunities, understanding what is happening in education helps businesses make confident, strategic workforce decisions.
That is why we have launched our Employer Webinar Series, designed to keep you in the loop and help you Power Up your workforce. Each session explores timely, employer-focused topics such as the Growth and Skills Levy, Inclusion and the White Skills Paper, giving you practical insight into how changes in education may impact your business.
Our lunchtime webinars are easy to join and designed to fit around your working day. Simply log in, listen and ask any questions you may have.
We are on a mission to shape the future workforce, not only by equipping local people with the skills your industry needs, but by supporting your business to grow, thrive and strengthen its talent pipeline.
