Quality, Sustainability and Professional Practice
Hold the date! This year’s conference, postponed from July, will be an online event featuring keynote speakers, plenary panels, workshops, networking and exhibition.
All three of this year’s themes are important at the best of times but this year, providing ‘good career guidance’ has been even more of a challenge and may well be for the foreseeable future. Our conference will help practitioners explore the themes of quality, sustainability and professional practice through the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic and to make plans for the new ‘normal’. The event is targeted at school and college career leaders and those tasked with supporting and working with them to explore and improve career development provision in their organisations.
This conference will be mediated through a specialist online conference platform, enabling us to provide an interactive exhibition and live networking.
