Unlock Accessible, High-Impact Learning to Fast-Track Development, Close the Technical Skills Gap & Build a Resilient Leadership Pipeline to Drive Project-Site Performance

Welcome to LEAP TD: Construction

LEAP TD: Construction is your opportunity to revolutionize your organization’s approach to talent development and upskilling.

Attendees had the chance to uncover 20+ case studies of how learning and development leaders are identifying new, hyper-effective, and impactful upskilling strategies for technical employees. They found out how they’re equipping managers in the field to balance rapidly changing workforce and client requirements, and how they're making learning more accessible and engaging for a project-based, geographically dispersed workforce.

In September 2025 participants joined a ready-made support network of talent development professionals equally committed to transforming the impact that this function can have on an industry which is battling a fast-growing skills gap and an even faster growing talent shortage.

Your workforce is ready, are you?

By securing your place at this unique forum you could take home disruptive solutions to your unique TD challenges in the construction industry and make long lasting connections with peers to support you as the talent development landscape evolves. The summit returns in 2026, will you be there?
