The skills squeeze: Staying ahead in Scotland’s changing talent landscape

25 November 2025, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Businesses in Scotland are facing a talent challenge. There’s a demand for new skills but a shrinking talent pool.

How can you overcome this? By attracting, developing, and retaining your most important resource: your people.

In this webinar, we’ll show you some of the ways you can do just that, and how Scottish Enterprise can support you.

We’ll explore how to tackle both the labour shortage and the skills gap, as these are two distinct challenges that require different strategies.

You’ll hear how inclusive recruitment can unlock hidden talent, from returners and career changers to those with caring responsibilities or long-term unemployment.

We’ll also look at how to future-proof your workforce. As sectors evolve and technology advances, upskilling becomes essential. Learn how to build pathways for learning across all career stages, and how AI can be used to enhance – not replace – human expertise.
