East Midlands employers are invited to a free Building Britain's
Future business and skills conference on Monday 1 February 2010, at
the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham, to find out how
skills and funding can play a key role in building stronger and
more successful businesses.
At the 'Business and Skills Conference: Grow, Perform, Succeed',
delegates will hear from employers and employees about their
experiences and the benefits of accessing Government funded
services to develop the skills of their workforce and how this
contributes to the regeneration of the local economy.
The keynote speaker, Mark Gallagher from Cosworth and Formula
One, will share his inspiration in leadership, motivation and
teamwork. Mark gives a fascinating insight into the world of top
level motor sport, drawing parallels between the challenging, high
speed environment of Formula One and the fast-paced business world
of today.
A business and skills surgery - direct face to face contact with
an adviser who will arrange to visit you and explain what is
available to your organisation, where the funding can be accessed
and which providers can deliver the quality provision your business
requires - will be open all day.
Working in partnership the conference is being delivered by the
Learning and Skills Council, National Apprenticeship Service,
Business Link East Midlands, East Midlands Business Forum,
Jobcentre Plus and the East Midlands Development Agency through KC
Jones event management.
Margaret Warren, Head of Marketing and Communications at the
Learning and Skills Council in the East Midlands, said: "A skilled
workforce is more productive, it is more innovative and helps build
stronger businesses. And the benefits for the individual are great
too. Skills help them climb higher and earn more.
"I would encourage employers from across the region to take
advantage of this fantastic free event to find out how they can
help their business succeed in 2010 and beyond."
The conference takes place twice during the day: 9.15am - 1.30pm
and 12.30pm - 4pm. To book a place or for more information visit
