Sunday 27

17.45 – 18.45

Bluecoat Liverpool


For too long, technical education and vocational training has been undervalued in comparison to academia. However, now there is growing political momentum to establish a genuine “parity of esteem” between technical and academic routes, ensuring that all forms of education are recognised as pathways to success. 
This panel will explore how parity can be achieved, examining the reforms needed to strengthen the apprenticeships system, encourage more young people into vocational training and build closer links between education providers and employers.  

Speakers:

  • Baroness Jacqui Smith – Minister of State for Skills
  • Graham Hastings-Evans – Chief Executive, NOCN
  • Fiona Aldridge – Chief Executive, Skills Federation; Board Member, Skills England
  • Sarah Yong – Director of Policy and Communications, Youth Futures Foundation
  • Joe Dromey – General Secretary, Fabian Society
