We’re thrilled to announce another exciting panel topic for #Bloom2025 – The Next Generation: Future Work, Future Workers, sponsored by Liverpool John Moores University.
This thought-provoking discussion will explore the challenges and opportunities in aligning business needs with the skills of the next generation. How can employers better accommodate young people entering the workforce? Who’s helping SMEs take on young talent, and how do we ensure the right soft skills are developed to navigate today’s workplace?
Our expert panel will dive into the critical question: how can education institutions and businesses collaborate to create meaningful opportunities that drive success across our region and beyond? What does this collaboration look like in practice for SMEs, and how do we keep skills relevant in fast-changing sectors?
Join us as we share insights, examples, and real-world strategies. Whether you’re an SME leader, educator, policymaker, or simply passionate about shaping the future of work, this panel is for you. Let’s challenge institutions, share what works, and shape the direction of future work.
