The IEP Summit is back in London on 11 June 2026, and momentum is building fast. City & Guilds, with almost 150 years of experience at the forefront of global workforce skills development, will return as headline sponsor for the second year running.
Patrick Craven FIEP, Public Affairs, Partnership & Engagement Director at City & Guilds, said they are proud to sponsor and attend the IEP Summit as it reflects their commitment to monitoring and supporting the evolving employability and skills landscape across the UK.
“The IEP community sits at the heart of this evolving and complex ecosystem,” Patrick said.
“Its members play a vital role in linking employment and skills-based support with meaningful, long-term work opportunity and in helping to build more resilient and adaptable workforces across the UK and globally.
“Sponsoring and participating in the Summit enables us to engage directly with practitioners and leaders in this space, understand emerging approaches to employability support, and ensuring that City & Guilds and PeopleCert products and services continue to respond to the changing needs of learners, employers, and the wider economy.”
City & Guilds’ comprehensive offer spans industry-leading qualifications, assessments and awards through to strategic workforce planning, hands-on technical training and leadership development. Now part of PeopleCert, the organisation is harnessing next-generation technologies to further amplify its impact on learners and organisations worldwide.
