AELP National Conference 2016

The Annual Conference for the Skills and Employment sector

Monday 27 & Tuesday 28 June 2016

Overview

The employment and skills sector has never faced so much change. Change has brought opportunities as well as challenges but the scale of it is unprecedented.

The AELP National Conference 2016, chaired by experienced sector journalist Janet Murray, will be the premier event this year for examining the impact that the reforms are likely to make. The Skills Minister Nick Boles is expected to tell delegates how the apprenticeship levy will be pivotal to achieving the 3 million apprenticeships target with further reform announcements in the pipeline. Fresh from her high profile role in the EU Referendum campaign, Employment Minister Priti Patel will update the conference on the 2017 replacement of the Work Programme. A critique of government policy will be offered by the Shadow Skills Minister Gordon Marsden.

The apprenticeship reforms will naturally form a key focus of the conference agenda and we will have a full debate featuring Sky as a leading apprenticeship employer. This debate will be chaired by AELP’s new CEO Mark Dawe and the provider voice will be strongly represented throughout the event. Other major themes will include English devolution, quality assurance and opportunities for young people.

The AELP National Conference will have its usual array of top speakers. The plenary sessions and debates will be backed by an excellent selection of workshops, always designed to help providers grow their businesses and share best practice. And then there are the entertaining gala dinner and the great networking opportunities throughout the two days. AELP members have a strong reputation for quality, responsiveness and flexibility. In attending #AELP2016, they should gain fresh insights to be able to build on that reputation.

Full AELP Members are entitled to one free place for both days. Full Members taking advantage of their complimentary place may choose to book a different delegate for the second day. This has been incorporated into the booking journey.
