Framework to Action: Skills-First Workshop for Union Leaders and Employers

Event Details: 12pm to 1pm --> Registration & Lunch 1pm - 4pm --> Workshop This interactive workshop brings union leaders and employers together to explore how skills-first practices can strengthen workforce outcomes for workers while supporting business and workforce transformation needs. Through facilitated discussions and hands-on activities, you will: Reflect on the worker experience — starting with your own, explore what matters in your career and what career fitness means in different contexts. Explore Skills-First practices — identify practices that could be relevant and useful in real workplace settings. Identify what helps or gets in the way — examine the everyday situations and barriers that can make these practices easier or harder to put into action. Connect worker realities to organisational needs — consider how insights from workers can help employers and unions design and support practices that are more relevant, practical and effective. Exchange and identify practical actions — learn from other employers and union leaders and identify actions that can be explored in your own workplace or union context.
