Educate to Employ – Shaping Cumbria’s Future -join us on the 3rd July

7th May 2025 | Category: Latest

As industries evolve and the needs of our communities shift, the bridge between education and employment has never been more in need of bold, collaborative action.

That’s why we’re bringing educators, employers, and community leaders together for an event dedicated to aligning education pathways with workforce needs and unlocking opportunity across the region.

Across Cumbria, employers are facing critical skills gaps, while young people seek clear, attainable routes into meaningful employment. The disconnect isn’t due to a lack of commitment; it’s a matter of coordination, communication, and a shared vision.

You’ll hear from regional and national voices in education, business and policy and take part in interactive panels and practical workshops that explore:
• Delivering high-quality careers education
• Strategies to improve work readiness and long-term employability
• How employers and educators can co-create inclusive opportunities in response to the Modern Workplace Guarantee

Join us on 3rd July at Keswick Pencil Factory for a day full of progressive conversations and focused workshops with like-minded people who want to see change happen by reserving your place now.

The event is free to attend – reserve your place here
