We are delighted to announce our upcoming ‘Working Together for Access and Success in Higher Education’: Teachers’ and Advisers’ Conference.
Keynote speaker: We are excited to announce that UK City of Culture will be the keynote speaker at the conference as Bradford is City of Culture 2025. Rhiannon Hannon, Director of Creative Engagement and Participation, will be the event’s keynote speaker. She will cover the work of the City of Culture’s team, drawing on her wealth of experience for leading arts participation in West Yorkshire.
Following the success of our inaugural collaborative conference, Go Higher West Yorkshire (GHWY) are pleased to announce that we will have a 2025 conference! Join us for a day that aims to provide insightful discussions, student voice and networking at Working Together for Access and Success in Higher Education: Teachers’ and Advisers’ Conference.
This is a collaborative event brought to you by a range of Higher Education (HE) providers. By working collaboratively, we can provide a broad range of information about the future HE options for students – from Higher National Certificates and Diplomas, to apprenticeships, and undergraduate degrees. The free conference will be on Tuesday, 8 July 2025, at 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM at University of Bradford. Please share this widely with your contacts.
We are extending a complimentary invitation to professionals dedicated to guiding young individuals, such as teachers, advisers, youth workers, pastoral staff, and local authority staff. Our conference offers a unique opportunity to gain insights into HE pathways and the support mechanisms available through our consortium of 13 members. This diverse group of our 13 members includes HE-in-FE providers, universities, and a small specialist provider.
