Sussex Skills 25: Future Skills for a future economy

Future-proof your workforce at Sussex Skills 25

Sussex Skills 25 is more than just an event – it’s a wake-up call for businesses who want to stay ahead in a rapidly changing economy. Taking place against the backdrop of a potential devolution deal for Sussex, this is your chance to discover how local control over skills, transport, and infrastructure could directly benefit your business.

So, what’s in it for me?

Whether you’re actively hiring or simply planning for the future, Sussex Skills 25 offers valuable insights to help you tackle workforce challenges head-on. By attending, you can:

• Discover what’s working for other Sussex employers
• Influence how local training and skills evolve
• Build your talent pipeline by engaging early
• Connect with peers and decision-makers shaping the future of Sussex’s workforce

Expect sharp, practical conversations, not panels or lectures – with local employers, educators, and decision-makers who are reshaping the region’s skills landscape through the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP).

What to expect:

• Understand how new local powers could bring real change for workforce planning, training, and recruitment.
• Business led sessions: hear from employers who’ve already partnered with the LSIP to fill skills gaps and strengthen their hiring strategies.
• Skills for the future: explore the essential capabilities, like digital confidence, adaptability, and problem-solving that your workforce needs to thrive.
• Pitchside chats: no fluff, no jargon. Just honest conversations about what employers really need from the skills system.

So, why not attend and discover future skills with Sussex Skills 25 on Tuesday 30th September at the Sun Harvest Room, The Amex Stadium, Falmer 08:30 – 14:00 (includes a buffet lunch!)
