The National Training Federation for Wales (NTFW) is resurrecting its annual conference on the theme âApprenticeships, Skills for Economic Growth in Walesâ, in March.
Against a backdrop of the Welsh Governmentâs controversial proposed cuts to apprenticeship funding, the conference will explore and discuss how apprentices benefit Wales, when delegates meet at the International Convention Centre Wales (ICC Wales), Newport on March 22.
In addition to a keynote speaker from the Welsh Government, there will also be addresses from NTFW strategic director Lisa Mytton, City & Guilds policy, stakeholder and partnerships manager (Nations and Ireland) Angharad Lloyd Beynon and Agored Cymru chief executive Darren Howells. City & Guilds is the headline conference sponsor.
Also featuring an employer panel discussion, the conference will focus on âbuilding tomorrow’s success todayâ. Delegates will discuss how to unleash potential through apprenticeships, empowering futures, empowering employers and driving economic prosperity.
Workshops include âA skills-led economy for Wales: Growing SMEs through skills developmentâ, a topic for Ben Cottam from FSB Wales. âBenchmarking through competition activityâ will be the focus for Emma Banfield, project manager for Inspiring Skills Excellence in Wales, while âCymraeg 2050 â developing a workforce for a bilingual Walesâ will be covered by Lisa OâConnor, Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaetholâs academic manager.
Other workshops include âRecruitment, retention and professional regulationâ with Hayden Llewellyn, chief executive of Education Workforce Council, âThe Assessor and their central and key role in the apprentice experienceâ with Mark Evans and Jassa Scott from Estyn and âMental health stigma in workplace settingsâ with Rachelle Bright from Time to Change Wales (TtCW).
âExploring how digital technologies can enhance the learning and assessment experience of apprenticesâ will be explored by Dean Seabrook, senior qualifications manager at Qualifications Wales while Rhys Daniels and Michael Webb from Jisc Wales will focus on âNavigating the opportunities and challenges of AIâ.
