About the Event: The Growth Company, in partnership with Athena and leading contractor SISK, is proud to introduce the new Shared Apprenticeship Programme – an innovative approach to tackling skills shortages in the construction sector.

Apprentices gain diverse, hands-on experience while employers benefit from a low-risk, high-impact way to develop future talent.

What You’ll Learn: How the Shared Apprenticeship Programme works; the benefits for employers and apprentices; and how this model can support workforce planning and social value delivery.

Who Should Attend: Construction employers and subcontractors; HR, training and workforce development leads; local authority representatives and stakeholders interested in skills, employment and social value.

Your Hosts: Gavin Bridge – Commercial Director, GC Education & Skills | Katherine Bollard-Wilkes – Regional Social Value & Stakeholder Manager, SISK | Nathan Jack – Head of Partnerships, Athena.
