The 5% Club Skills Summit 2026
The 5% Club Skills Summit is our flagship autumn event: a one-day conference bringing together around 350 senior leaders from across UK industry, all committed to building skills through 'earn and learn' employment.
Held at Savoy Place in central London on Wednesday 18 November 2026, the Summit is where the Club's collective progress is set out and where the year's achievements are recognised.
The programme features a panel discussion with senior policy makers and leading experts, examining the decisions that will shape apprenticeships and workforce development over the coming years. Delegates will also hear the first full analysis of the 2026 Employer Audit, drawing on data from across our membership to show where 'earn and learn' employment is growing and what the best-performing employers are doing differently.
The Summit is also where we reveal accredited Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze membership for 2026-2027, and present the 16 UK Employer Earn & Learn Awards.
Attendance is by invitation, offered to employers who take part in the annual Employer Audit.
