Since its inception, The 5% Club has staged best practice events to encourage and inform members with less, little or even no experience of how to run effective formal training programmes.

Members and participants showcase and share their experiences; how they operate their programmes; recruit their apprentices; and reach out to schools and their local communities.

More recently, our quarterly events have been further developed, to build on this good practice sharing but also to focus more fully on broader social issues in our sector such as social mobility, diversity and inclusion and outreach to schools and young people.

Various partnerships have been developed with other charities, stakeholders and organisations to ensure our events continually raise members’ performance standards in training and recruitment, and provide an opportunity for additional social responsibility issues to be fully discussed and shared.

We also run online events on specific topics.

All events are free to attend and are open to members, any organisations which have expressed interest in the work of The 5% Club, stakeholders and partners. (Please note – these events are not a ‘selling’ opportunity and are not open to companies attending for commercial purposes only.)

Please note – we run the majority of our events using the Eventbrite booking platform. For online events you will automatically be sent your event Zoom link in the emails from Eventbrite, including the option of saving the details to your calendar. Please check your junk email when you sign up to one of our events.
