Agenda 2026

As artificial intelligence transforms the world of work, how do we ensure people are equipped with the skills they need to succeed in the jobs of the future?

This thought-provoking panel will explore the growing connection between social value, green skills and workforce development. While technology continues to reshape many industries, demand for skilled workers in construction, retrofit, renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure is set to grow as the UK transitions to a low-carbon economy.

Bringing together employers, training providers, local leaders and social value practitioners, we'll discuss how social value can be used to create meaningful employment pathways into future-facing careers, ensuring local communities benefit from investment and growth.

Join us to explore the role of partnership, place-based working and innovation in creating opportunities that not only meet today's needs, but help build a resilient workforce for tomorrow.
