CMI research, Skills First Report, shows that the UK will need another 1.9M trained managers by 2024. Recruitment alone will not be enough to fill this void, and so BPP and the CMI are working together to share best practice on how organisations can develop existing staff, improve retention and boost productivity with a range of strategic initiatives.

BPP have been at the forefront of professional education for over 40 years, working with some of the world’s most successful businesses as their valued partner and delivering our courses to learners at every stage of their educational journey.

During this event, we will be showcasing examples of how BPP has supported some of the country’s most high-profile companies to address their skills shortages, whether this be within a technical or management space. There will also be a showcase of research from the CMI and a keynote speech from Liz Benison, Non-Executive Director for Openreach, about the practical solutions implemented throughout her illustrious career.
