14:15 NPEESS22 MINI SUMMITS
Each NPEESS22 Mini Summit provides an opportunity to drill down into the key questions on how to bridge the gaps in the North’s education, employment and skills – and level up. There are 3 parallel Mini-Summits to choose from.
NPEESS MINI SUMMIT 1: EDUCATION
Events space
LEVELLING UP POWERS, PROSPERITY AND PLACES
What are the powers the North’s towns, cities and places need to truly level up? Will meaningful devolution help the North’s towns, cities and regions prosper? Where are the gaps and how do we achieve place-based regeneration? How can we build back better education through devolution?
Led by:
Gill Morris, DevoConnect
Andy Forbes, Head of Development, Lifelong Education Commission
Leanne Hornsby, Assistant Director - Education, Skills, Culture, Heritage, Doncaster Council
Henri Murison, Director, NPP
NPEESS MINI SUMMIT 2: JOBS
Cinema 5
BRIDGING THE JOBS GAP – WHAT WILL GOOD WORK LOOK LIKE?
Recruitment and retention were already a problem before the pandemic. Post pandemic, the jobs market and how and where we work have changed. In a cost of living crisis - with high inflation and low unemployment, how do we level up a skewed labour market and generate ‘good’ jobs and bridge the gaps?
Led by:
Naomi Clayton, Deputy Director, Learning & Work Institute
Andrew Morton ERSA
Professor Irena Grugilis, ReWage
Joanna Moonan, Deputy Director, People Services, Institute for Apprenticeships
NPEESS MINI SUMMIT 3: SKILLS
Cinema 2
BRIDGING THE GREEN SKILLS GAP
Green growth, innovation, skills, jobs and infrastructure needs to be scaled up and the green skills gap needs to be filled. How can the North transition to a Net Zero economy, lead the way to a digital and design-led future, and bridge the gaps?
Led by:
Minnie Moll, CEO, Design Council
Kate Dougherty, Head of Net Zero and Sustainability Services, WSP
Carl Ennis, CEO, Siemens and Chair, Net Zero North West Sponsored by WSP
