Join us at the Annual Apprenticeships and Training Conference 2025 in Liverpool
Gain insights and guidance to help you navigate the changing skills landscape with two days of talks and workshops tailored for apprenticeship training providers and employers.
10 February 2025
The Annual Apprenticeships and Training Conference (ATC) is heading to Liverpool on 10-11 March with a brand-new agenda offering expert insights and guidance tailored for apprenticeship training providers and employers.
The new-look ATC has evolved from the flagship Annual Apprenticeship Conference (AAC) which has been a key event to discuss all things apprenticeships for the past nine years.
As your global skills partner, at City & Guilds we are committed to support training providers and employers to create opportunities for learners and employees – which is why we’re especially excited to be the headline sponsor for this year’s ATC.
Across the action-packed two days, our teams will be onsite for workshops, face-to-face conversations, and a brand-new Employer Summit to discuss the changing skills landscape, policy and funding updates, and what opportunities it presents for you.
Learn more about our sessions, workshops and the Employer Summit below – and come and visit us at Stand A39 for a coffee and chat.
