Description
.
WHY ATTEND
Join Investment20/20 for the latest instalment in our series of events focused on the homegrown development of the skill sets the investment management industry needs if the UK is to remain a world leading global investment hub.
The investment management sector is changing at pace. The skills we need from our future workforce are different to those required pre-pandemic. World class data, cyber and digital skills will be paramount to the industry’s success, especially in relation to the fast-developing ESG market.
This event will focus on the opportunity provided by Degree Apprenticeships to enhance the skills of new employees entering the workforce and the ongoing discussions around the long-term reform of the Apprenticeship Levy. During the event you will have the chance to hear from, and engage with, leading representatives from within Government, investment management and education policy.
