Introduction
Building on the success of last year, Skills CFA is holding another national conference for training providers and colleges on the
28 November 2013 and would like to invite interest from sponsors, advertisers and exhibitors.
About the conference
The apprenticeships arena is completely changing. With the ‘year of the review’ now over, employers are being put in the
driving seat of apprenticeships. The conference will support training providers and colleges in adapting to key government
reforms as the ‘year of implementation’ begins.
As the leading body for business apprenticeships in the UK, we work with a large number of employers to develop
apprenticeships, and are well placed to direct discussions.
Commercial opportunities – why partner?
The conference will give you a platform to communicate your brand and values to a network of training providers, colleges,
decision makers and senior representatives in the FE sector.
The conference will give specialist advice on changes that are pivotal to the sector. Therefore we expect at least 150 training
providers and colleges to attend, along with senior decision makers and practicing providers, assessors and IVs.
