Building the Workforce Behind Defence Growth

Invitation-Only Defence Employer Roundtable
The UK defence sector is entering a period of significant growth, driven by major investment across defence, space, advanced engineering and digital technologies. However, growth can only be achieved if organisations have access to the skilled people needed to deliver it.
Explosive Learning Solutions and Activate Learning, with support from the Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce, are bringing together a select group of senior industry leaders and workforce specialists from across the defence and adjacent sectors for an exclusive employer roundtable to explore workforce challenges, share insights and discuss how we can develop the talent pipelines needed for long-term success.

- Explore practical solutions to recruitment, skills shortages and workforce development challenges.
- Influence future skills, training and apprenticeship provision to better meet industry needs.
- Connect with senior peers and help shape a collaborative approach to building the future defence related workforce.
Discussion themes
We’ll explore:
- The workforce challenges and skills gaps currently impacting employers working in defence.
- Future growth opportunities and the talent needed to support them.
- Skills, training and apprenticeship solutions available to strengthen workforce capability.
- How employers can maximise social value through workforce development and procurement.
Shape the Future
This an opportunity to contribute directly to the design of future workforce solutions for the defence sector.
We’re seeking employers who are in the Defence or adjacent sectors to work with us to develop solutions that address real business needs and support sustainable sector growth.
