FE Week Festival of Skills 2016  Souvenir supplement | Click here to download the supplement.

We were delighted to host the inaugural Festival of Skills at Capel Manor College over two sunny days in July.

This new event is a sister to The Telegraph Festival of Education which in its seventh year attracted over 5,000 festival-goers to 
Wellington College in June.

Our ambition over the coming years is to nurture the Festival of Skills to the magnitude of the Festival of Education and we think you will agree this souvenir supplement shows a fantastic launch to achieve that ambition.

The Festival of Skills was an inspiring CPD extravaganza bringing together the best of the sector’s most forward thinking advocates, practitioners of change, policy makers and educators.

Without the support of all of our sponsors and exhibitors, the festival would be a less rich and rewarding experience.  The festival is a huge team effort and we couldn’t produce it without our fabulous team both at Summerhouse Events, City and Guilds, The Education and Training Foundation and Capel Manor College who’ve worked tirelessly throughout the year to make the event the very best it can be.

City and Guilds, The Education and Training Foundation and the Society for Education and Training, provided some of the very best-in-class workshop sessions and it is this rich diversity of content that will become the hallmark of the Festival of Skills.

Thank you to everyone that supported us during the festival’s first year. Tell us what you think; what we did well, what we could do better, what new topics you’d like to see on the agenda for 2017, and of course tell us if you want to speak next year. Please do engage with us via Twitter (@skillsfest) and email (festival@feweek.co.uk).
