Our members are telling us that a lack of talent is stalling their business growth.
Despite full employment, we're facing a critical skills shortage, and attracting talent to the island brings its own challenges. On top of this, our ageing population and growing number of non-working individuals over 50 only add to the complexity.
So, what can we do about it? How do we retrain our workforce for the jobs of tomorrow?
Should we shift our focus to recruiting for skills rather than knowledge? Do we need to reshape our education system? And how can we make lifelong learning a reality?
We know that flexibility, technological change, and building confidence in essential skills are part of the bigger picture—but the real challenge is, how do we get there?
Join us for a dynamic panel debate where we'll explore these pressing issues. Our expert panel includes:
- Danielle Hartford-Fox, Principal of Ladies' College
- Louise Misselke, Principal of The College of Further Education
- Becky Machon, Founder of Focus HR
The debate will be moderated by Justin Bellinger, Chamber Director and former CEO of Sure Guernsey, with Deputy Sasha Kazantseva-Miller providing insights from the government and sharing updates from the latest initiatives and surveys.
We invite leaders in education, business professionals, recruitment experts, and future leaders to join us and engage in shaping the future of Guernsey's workforce.
