The construction industry in Greater Manchester plays a pivotal role in driving economic growth, infrastructure development, and job creation. To sustain and enhance this sector, it's crucial to establish a robust construction skills pipeline.

We will be discussing topics such as forecasting, education & training provisions, apprenticeships, upskilling, reskilling, employers and diversity & inclusion.听
