Update on our Value and Skills annual event
Following our Value and Skills annual event which took place on 20 September 2023, we presented the key ideas and initiatives that emerged from the day to our Executive Board.
At their meeting on 10 October, the Executive Board confirmed those projects they wish to be taken forward. All of them involve continuing to work collaboratively together and with external partners around the themes of:
- raising the profile of jobs in our industry
- skills, training, and development
- best value
- setting a strategic direction for digital working and carbon
- creating a social value legacy
The annual event was well received by the 130 plus attendees, with a cross section of local authority members, framework suppliers and the 12 external organisations who were involved in delivering the day’s programme.
The event was a mix of presentations and workshops on the themes of:
- Engaging with young people
- Growing our own
- Diversifying the workforce
- Digital’s value throughout the highway’s lifecycle
- Achieving value through Carbon reduction
- Adding Social Value
The event presentations are available on our website (see events – value & skills 20 September 2023). The mentimeter survey results are available to the respective working group members via their ISP pages.
Watch this space as these new initiatives begin to develop over the coming months and look out for updates in our newsletters.
