The Regional Employment and Skills Summit took place on 8 July 2008 at Gatwick and attracted over 130 delegates. Hosted by the Regional Minister, Jonathan Shaw MP, the day included presentations from both Government and employers as well as table discussions on some topical issues:
- Employability, employer engagement and employer and employee entitlement
- Preparing for raising the age for participation in education and training
- Improving business performance through skills development including higher level skills and green skills
Outcomes from the day are being fed back to Government - including the DIUS consultation paper on Higher Education at Work, High Skills : High Value - and will be used to inform the work of regional partners over the coming year.
