114. Livery Education Conference 9 June

About 50 Livery Companies were represented at the Livery Education Conference, together with a similar number of teachers. The objective was to better match Livery resources (cash and, importantly, people) with school needs. The focus was on preparing students for the workforce. This included curriculum and careers guidance, work placements, and stressing the appropriateness of the Apprentice Scheme. The new booklet the Livery in Education – June 2016 was issued, and it is an important read for those interested in what Livery Companies do. The Actuaries and Educators facilitated the Conference but an important contribution came from the Information Technologists who have designed web-based matching software which would be trialled in the autumn.
