This year’s theme will help show how our sector is helping deliver the government’s ambition of an 80% employment rate and making the Get Britain Working white paper a reality.
When is Employability Day?
This year, it will take place on Friday 26th June, but activities and events also take place across the week leading up to it.
What is Employability Day?
Employability Day is a national day of celebration, created by ERSA, to showcase the impact of employment support and skills provision across the UK.
It shines a spotlight on the work of providers, local authorities, employers, colleges and others in helping people move towards and into good work.
The day showcases best practice, shares success stories, and raises awareness of the importance of high-quality employability and skills services.
How can you get involved?
There are many of ways your organisation can get involved in celebrating Employability Day 2026, such as:
Host an event (in-person or online), such as open days, employer engagement sessions, learner awards or job fairs.
Engage local partners, employers, funders and local MPs or councillors to attend or support your activity.
Share impact stories, case studies and participant success stories on social media using the Employability Day hashtags – #EmpDay26 and #WeGetBritainWorking
Tell ERSA what you are doing! We will send out a form nearer the time for you to tell us what you are planning and where.
Other Information:
We will be sending out more information and downloadable content between now and the day, but email policy@ersa.org.uk if you have any questions in the meantime.
