Wednesday 19 November 2008

We are pleased to announce that our 2008 Annual Conference will take place on 19 November. It will be a lively, interactive day with top quality presentations on this year’s hot topics, inspired debate, a wide range of networking opportunities and a first class exhibition. Rounding off the day will be a champagne reception and further networking opportunities.

The day will include:

• A lively look at ‘Apprenticeships today’ and how they can benefit your business
• Solutions to some of the skills issues that keep you awake at night including ways to encourage women and older workers to return to / remain in employment
• A look at the key themes you have identified within our Sector Skills Agreement including management and leadership skills gaps – one of the most important issues facing our industry today; work readiness – an issue often responsible for tying up your valuable time and resources; financial capability and education – an opportunity to influence the curriculum; lack of new entrants – attracting new entrants to the industry is now a major priority for us all!
• Insight from our Devil’s Advocates on how to land a top job in financial services. Hear their (very different!) perspectives on what makes people stand out, what the key skills gaps are and how to develop competitive skills
• Plenty of round table discussion and debate with panels that want to hear your views on the issues that matter to you
