What’s on your Learning & Skills Events Calendar?

Have you checked the Learning & Skills Events Calendar lately?

Almost every day we add new events – conferences, seminars, workshops, exhibitions, awards ceremonies, lectures… Most are targeted at specific sectors and professions, but many are open to broader groups and some to the wider public – and many are free to attend.

At the time of writing, there are almost 120 events on the Calendar. They are happening in every city and right across Scotland, from Fort William to Earlston, Ayr, Orkney, North Berwick, Livingston and Clydebank.

Topics are wide-ranging, from apprenticeships to early years, parent engagement to leadership, reading to cyber security, youth work to biotechnology.

Each entry includes the organiser, location, cost where available and a link for more information. More details are provided about events run by Informed Scotland subscribers – just one of the extra benefits of signing up to our monthly digest.

All events, apart from Radio EDUtalk live broadcasts, are face-to-face. We couldn’t attempt to keep track of webinars and other online events… it would be a full-time task!

Browse the Calendar to find an event to attend, or to find out the dates to avoid for the one you’re organising. There’s no charge for listing. We look out for events to add, but make sure we don’t miss yours – email or tweet us the details. And watch out for our ‘#FollowFriday’ #ff tweets for the following week’s organisers.
