Managing Meaningful Apprenticeship Programmes

The Clubhouse: Chiswell Street Dining Rooms, EC1
£225
£280

The national apprenticeship success rate is just 64%.

Too many employers choose the wrong provider, design weak programmes, and only realise something is wrong when learners disengage or leave.

Hear from employers who learned the hard way and former training provider directors on what actually works.

You will leave with practical ideas on:

  • Choosing the right provider
  • Programme design
  • Contracts and stakeholder management
  • Reporting, evaluation and improvement

Food and drinks included.

A Practical L&D Strategy for Measurable Impact

The Clubhouse: Chiswell Street Dining Rooms, EC1
£175

No polished case studies. Just honest reflections, difficult decisions and practical lessons learned the hard way.

You will leave with fresh ideas on:

  • Building an L&D strategy that survives real life
  • Balancing priorities, budgets and stakeholder pressure
  • Measuring what actually matters
  • Adapting when plans need to change

Food and drinks included.

"Protecting workers is not compliance. It is leadership"

 

[The Why]

 

Consultants. Webinars. Training. Events. Conferences. Online communities. Much of it is valuable, we also rely on these. 

But it is rarely:

  • local
  • consistent
  • designed for ongoing conversation
  • free from a supplier agenda

Leaders need a space to think and discuss - not just listen.

The Four Corners Club exists to give leaders that room.

Why is the Four Corners Club needed now?

These are just some of the new challenges leaders are facing, not including the current day job. We need to work together to overcome these. 

5 Generations within the workforce

For the first time, five generations are working side by side, each with different expectations around flexibility, development, feedback, progression, communication and culture.

Artificial Intelligence

AI is moving faster than most organisations can keep up, creating pressure to understand the risks, opportunities and practical implications in order to protect both the organisation and its people.

Doing more with less

Teams are expected to deliver more — with less budget, less time and smaller teams.

Increased Employed Responsibility

Quickly and efficiently build the materials you need to support your inbound marketing strategy. Drag and drop building blocks including testimonials, forms, calls-to-action, and more.

[Have an experience to share?]

We are always looking for amazing forward thinking speakers for our Community!

We will provide:

    • A very relaxed environment
    • A friendly audience (our members are amazing people, they just want to learn and share)
    • Payment for all presentations (we do not offer marketing opportunities)

What our members are looking for:

    • Real life experience (not my employer did this...)
    • Something they haven’t heard before
    • Solutions that have worked 

 

 

Frequently Asked
Questions

What is the Four Corners Club

Four Corners Club is a pitch-free, in-person membership for HR, People, L&D and Talent professionals. Practical guest contributions and structured peer problem-solving.

Is this a networking event?

Not really. You will meet people, but the point is problem-solving, not collecting contacts. The session is structured and facilitated so you leave with clear next steps.

Who is it for?

HR, People, L&D and Talent professionals from manager level to Head/Director, especially those accountable for leadership, retention, performance, culture, skills, or change. 

Our Community Events are themed, therefore you may choose to bring a colleague, such as the lead or project managers for a specific area (ie EDI Lead, Change Management Lead etc.)

Who is it not for?

Suppliers and consultants, including recruiters, vendors, and anyone attending primarily to sell services. The room stays pitch-free.

 

Will I be put on the spot or asked to speak?

No. It’s facilitated and friendly. You can contribute as much or as little as you like, and most discussion happens in small groups rather than speaking to a room.

What does “pitch-free” actually mean?

No selling, no lead-gen, no supplier agenda. No one is there to prospect. It’s designed to be a high-trust space where people can speak honestly.
