About The Conference

There has never been a more important time for employers and their training providers to be offering a range of high-quality opportunities for young people. As we emerge from the pandemic and our economy begins to recover, young people will be keen to explore the variety of choices available to them, and it is important that these opportunities offer them the chance to secure their futures.

After 18 months of uncertainty, remote learning, bubbling, missed classes and their social lives being turned upside down, young people are telling us that they are desperate to get into work – not just any job, but a job that offers them security, personal development, a fair salary and progression.

Developing Quality Apprenticeships: Stay Informed

This unique conference series promises to bring you the very latest thinking around all aspects of skills and youth employment policy. We have hand-picked some of the most experienced, thought-provoking and influential speakers in the skills sector to share with you the most recent policy developments, and to inspire you to take positive action.

Join us to get informed, be inspired and make a difference to the futures of our young people.

Who’s Involved?

The Developing Quality Apprenticeships conference series is brought to you by two leading organisations in the sector, Youth Employment UK and Amazing Apprenticeships.

Together, we have put together a 4-month developmental programme that will encourage participants to explore topics affecting youth employment and apprenticeships in parallel, so that we can collectively build a greater understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the sector and be inspired to take action.

Our conference organisers, LJ Rawlings, CEO of YEUK and Anna Morrison CBE, Director of Amazing Apprenticeships are both active Chairs of the Youth Employment Group (YEG) which was established in 2020 to help drive the UK’s response to the pandemic. The YEG has had a particular focus on the immediate and longer-term impacts of the coronavirus outbreak on the employment prospects of young people, in particular those facing the greatest challenges.

In July 2021, the Youth Employment Group released a paper – Levelling Up For Young People – through which a series of recommendations have been made to the government and senior policy officials.
