The Apprenticeships and Training Conference (ATC) is the leading event for professionals involved in the delivery of apprenticeships, training, and broader workforce development initiatives. Originally founded in 2015 as the Annual Apprenticeship Conference (AAC), ATC has since evolved to reflect the broader scope of today’s workforce needs, in alignment with industry trends and government policy.
With a focus that extends beyond traditional apprenticeships, the ATC will address the changing demands of the workforce, ensuring that participants are well-equipped to navigate new developments in training and development. This two-day conference is designed to provide essential insights, updates, and strategies to support apprenticeship providers, training organisations, and employers in their efforts to equip the workforce with the skills and knowledge required for success.
