The conference will feature keynote presentations, sector updates, the launch of an exciting new Green Skills initiative, and facilitated roundtable discussions designed to encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing.
What to Expect
We have an exciting and diverse lineup of speakers and contributors, including:
- An update from Programme Manager of the South West Construction Technical Excellence College, Ricahrd Brine.
- International delegates from Malawi and Nepal, who will share insights from exchange projects and discuss how global collaboration is supporting the development of green skills.
- Representatives from South Lanarkshire College, who are visiting from Scotland and are in the early stages of developing what could become Scotland's first GSAP.
- Steve Thompson, Group Commercial Director at NOCN, who will provide an important update on Green Cards and workforce competency across the construction sector.
