Health and Social Care Employer Industry Board

The Health and Social Care Employer Industry Board is formed of dedicated voluntary members who advise City & Guilds’ Product Strategy, providing advice and information to ensure that products and services meet the needs of industry, are inclusive, and support progression from education to work. The Board plays a vital role in fostering strong partnerships with a wide range of industry experts, employers, and stakeholders.

Through active engagement in networking opportunities, members exchange insights, share best practices, and build meaningful professional relationships. These connections not only strengthen the sector but also support ongoing professional development, enabling members to stay current with industry trends, enhance their expertise, and drive continuous improvement in their own organisations and careers.
