We would like to invite you to a one day conference, organised by the Employer Engagement Network, for all those involved in employer-university engagement, including:

• Workforce development and CPD
• Graduate recruitment and employability
• Knowledge Exchange

As we all know, finding creative and effective ways of developing meaningful and sustainable relationships with employers is more important than ever.  Developing strategic relationships across a range of university services is an increasingly efficient way of gaining maximum benefit.

This one day event will include speakers offering a range of perspectives to help you to develop your employer engagement strategy and your own skills as a business engagement practitioner, including:

• Bob Athwal, Director of Careers Service, University of Leicester  and formerly HR Business Partner and Head of Graduate Schemes, npower.
• Anne Morrison, Director, BBC Academy.  The BBC Academy is the BBC's centre for training. It houses the Colleges of Journalism, Production, Leadership and the Centre of Technology and its portfolio includes face to face courses, online resources and development initiatives. As well as training BBC staff, the Academy works with the wider broadcasting industry on a commercial basis and also shares some resources for free.
• Aaron Porter, Director, External Affairs, NCUB will provide an overview of the work of NCUB and how it can help you in your work.
• Marc Dobson and Bob Bell, JISC who will deliver a hands-on session on the new interactive CPD tool developed by JISC and AURIL to help you plan your own professional development and keep your skills fresh.
