Friday 3rd May 2019

Conference Programme

9:00am – 3:15pm

We are delighted to invite you to the twelfth annual Teachers and Careers Advisers Conference. This free, one day event organised by the Student Recruitment Team at Edge Hill University, will update you on the changing HE landscape and will give you the opportunity to share experiences and good practice with colleagues who provide post-16 information, advice and guidance (IAG) across a broad range of school and college settings.

The conference is aimed at all Teachers and Careers Advisers working in post -16 education. Professionals and practitioners in the HE sector will be available through plenary and workshop sessions to equip you with up-to-date, essential information to inform your own practice.

In addition to a keynote, plenary and networking lunch, delegates will have the opportunity to select two workshops of interest, undertake an optional campus or departmental tour and speak to subject tutors and other services from across the university. The programme will provide attendees with a mix of subject specific guidance, as well as general policy update. Sessions will be delivered by staff from Edge Hill University, in addition to external specialists, who each demonstrate expertise within their chosen fields.

Location: Edge Hill University Business School
