You’re invited
Defence Sector Roundtable – Breakfast Event
25 September 2024 | 8:30am - 10:30am BST | London E1
The world is changing – new threats are emerging, and the
defence sector must adapt and develop new skillsets to meet
these challenges.
You’re invited to join a closed room roundtable with like-minded executive defence peers, to discuss the critical skills challenges you face, share best practices, and hear from others on how they’ve overcome them.
This roundtable will bring together key community members to discuss their learning and development issues and act as a facilitated, cross-industry platform for developing solutions that will benefit our community.
What you will learn about
Continuing our theme of how we can collectively address the digital skills shortage across defence, we will build on our last session where Mark Cameron OBE spoke about funded learning solutions, but with a more international aspect, so we can learn any lessons from outside of Europe on dealing with this problem.
As mentioned in the July 2023 Command Paper refresh, the MoD has a plan that "in partnership with industry, our pool of engineers, cyber specialists, data analysts and scientists, will both be the digital warriors of the future and will help underpin national growth and prosperity.“
As the key clients of the MoD, we have a responsibility to support, challenge and progress their organisational capability and mission effectiveness.
