The North East's future growth depends on its future workforce. Yet too many young people remain disconnected from education, employment and training, limiting opportunities for individuals and constraining the talent pipeline businesses need to grow.

Bringing together employers, education providers and key regional stakeholders, this conference will explore how we can unlock the potential of young people and strengthen the North East economy by creating better pathways into work.

Hear from expert speakers, learn about the latest evidence and policy developments, including the growing focus on youth opportunity following the Milburn Review, and take part in an interactive workshop with the Youth Futures Foundation.

The event will also help shape the North East Chamber of Commerce's work with employers to reduce NEET levels, improve recruitment and progression pathways, and create more opportunities for young people to contribute to the region's economic success.

Join us to share your perspective, influence future action and be part of building a stronger, more inclusive workforce for the North East.
