Two senior politicians are set to headline and inspire an upcoming conference on Learning & Development (L&D) organised by the Credit Services Association (CSA), the voice of the UK debt collection and debt purchase sectors.<\/p>\n

Gillian Keegan<\/p><\/div>\n

Gillian Keegan, Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills, and Toby Perkins, Shadow Minister for Apprenticeships and Lifelong Learning, will update delegates about the critical importance of employer engagement for lifelong learning.<\/p>\n

They will tackle the role of apprenticeships for the financial services sector (especially at a time when people may be looking to \u2018retrain\u2019 into new roles following the pandemic) and explore opportunities from the Government\u2019s Kickstart Scheme which provides funding to create job opportunities for 16\u201324-year-olds.<\/p>\n

Both MPs are in a unique position to speak about L&D and not just because of their current roles: Gillian Keegan is the only degree level apprentice in the House of Commons, having begun an apprenticeship at 16, working for Delco Electronics whilst also studying for a Business Degree. Toby Perkins, meanwhile, has championed improvements in the standard of apprenticeships, and has experience working with the Chesterfield College and private apprentice providers during his 10 years as MP for the constituency.<\/p>\n

Toby Perkins<\/p><\/div>\n

Fiona Macaskill, Director of Learning and Development at the CSA is looking forward to welcoming Mrs Keegan and Mr Perkins to the event: \u201cAt such a significant point in the country\u2019s employment history, we are lucky to hear from two MPs sitting on opposite sides of the Commons Chamber, who are united in their awareness of the necessity to future-proof employment prospects.<\/p>\n

\u201cA key aim of the conference,\u201d she continues, \u201cis to provide insight into developments and changes to apprenticeships, and no one is better placed to do so than two MPs who are influencing the national further education strategy, the National Retraining Scheme, and working with the institutes of technology and national colleges, right in the heart of Westminster.\u201d<\/p>\n

The L&D Conference will take place virtually on 9 February.<\/p>\n
