The Northern Powerhouse Education, Employment and Skills Summit (NPEESS25) returns to Liverpool at a pivotal moment - marking one year since the 2024 General Election and the Government’s promise to turbocharge growth and deliver change.
As the flagship event in the North’s political and business calendar, #NPEESS25 is where leaders from across the public, private, and civic sectors come together to shape the future of education, employment, and skills in the region.
This year’s summit is more than a conversation - it’s a call to action. With devolution accelerating and the vision of a fully empowered Great North within reach, #NPEESS25 offers a platform for trailblazing collaboration between Northern Mayors, government figures, business leaders, educators, and employers.
