A week to go until our Flagship Skills Summit. A first look at the numbers

A week to go until our Flagship Skills Summit. Here is a first look at the numbers.

On 18 November, we will announce the employers reaching The 5% Club’s prestigious Platinum Standard. Before then, here is a taster of what we will be celebrating:

• 286 employers accredited.
• 103 will be announced as reaching the Platinum Standard.
• 60 have completed the process for the first time in 2026.
•  42 were among the original 73 employers who started the Accreditation journey in 2021, and they are committed to the process.
• 386 employers now comprise the Audit Alumni.

Behind these figures are employers who are not waiting for the skills gap to close. They are investing in apprentices, graduates and those employees reskilling/upskilling, and they are showing what positive employer action looks like in practice.

Follow or join us on 18 November to find out who they are.
