Education and Skills Policy Forum webinar
An insightful webinar hosted by the Education Special Interest Group where they heard from colleagues across business, employment and learning for a first look at what the 2025 Spending Review means for education and skills.
This webinar covered key areas including the Growth and Skills Levy, Skills England, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), addressing skills gaps and improving productivity by promoting training and development opportunities, answering the following:
- If the Growth and Skills Levy allows businesses greater flexibility in how they invest their contributions, what will that mean for our members?
- What might Skills England’s role to facilitate business engagement with government on skills mean in practice?
- How will Skills England ensure investment is directed towards tackling the UK’s productivity challenges?
- Will Spending Review 2025 address the needs of SMEs, including potentially fully funding apprenticeship training and assessment costs.
