• Collaborate with key industry leaders and stakeholders to shape an all-age careers framework that fosters innovation, inclusion, and impact.
• Drive real impact on workforce development in County Durham, helping to build a future-ready workforce equipped with the skills necessary to thrive in your industry.

Your participation is crucial to this mission. Don’t miss this opportunity to contribute your expertise, network with fellow leaders, and play a direct role in shaping future policies and strategies.

We truly hope you can join us in leading this important initiative for County Durham!
