Introducing The 5% Club Skills Surgery
A new, member-exclusive forum designed to support you in navigating the evolving skills landscape

The Skills Surgery offers informal, interactive discussion sessions focused on the key issues shaping our sector right now. It’s a safe and supportive space where members can bring questions, share challenges, and explore practical solutions together.
Whether you’re seeking clarity on policy changes, looking for fresh ideas, or simply want to sense-check your approach, these sessions are designed to help. No question is too small or too basic—this is your opportunity to gain expert insight, hear different perspectives, and leave with greater confidence and direction.
By joining a Skills Surgery, you’ll tap into the collective knowledge of the network, access timely guidance, and stay ahead in a fast-changing environment.
