Bridging Skills Gaps in Critical Technologies

Join this practical session to understand how Graduate Apprenticeships can develop essential talent for the Critical Technologies sector.

The Critical Technologies Supercluster has ambitions to grow to £10bn in revenues by 2035.

This level of job creation will need the sector to explore all available talent pathways – including apprenticeships.
