Sector leaders have already been confirmed as speakers and discussions will be based on the theme of the day: ‘Pride in professionalism’. The SET Conference, sponsored by the Skills and Education Group, will showcase the invaluable work of the sector, and celebrate excellence across further education.

With content streams covering topical and practical information, and dynamic workshops throughout the day, teachers and trainers are being encouraged to hold this date in the diary and secure a place before tickets sell out.

Plenary sessions will focus on current topics, while the four separate breakout streams allow for more detailed sector information and discussion. Breakout sessions cover the following topics:

• Wellbeing and Resilience
• SEND, inclusion and learning support
• Technical and Vocational Education
• Digital Innovation and Pedagogy
• Maths and English.
