How do you modernise skills delivery across an entire industry — not just one organisation?
ECITB, the statutory skills body for Great Britain’s engineering construction sector, is answering that question at scale. Supporting 190,000 roles across oil, gas, renewables and wider infrastructure, the ECITB invests £32 million each year to address critical skills gaps and market failures. But investment alone is not enough. The sector requires a fundamental shift in how learning is accessed, delivered and experienced.
By implementing a connected learning technology ecosystem the ECITB is transforming skills development across eight industry sectors. The result is a flexible, digital-first model that enables employers of every size to access high-quality learning at pace, while fostering a culture of continuous, self-directed development.
In this session guest speaker Steve Rick, Head of Learning Design and Technology at ECITB, joined by Sam Mitchell, Senior Customer Success Manager at OpenSesame will explore how the ECITB is:
- Modernising skills delivery through a flexible, digital-first model
- Expanding access to learning across eight industry sectors
- Transforming learning culture to self-directed, continuous, and accessible for large and small organisations
- Driving measurable ROI from large-scale skills funding
