Enhance Your Practice with Our Developing Excellence Workshops
As part of the Developing Excellence programme, we offer two workshops specifically designed for staff in post-16 education. Delivered by Inspiring Skills Excellence in Wales, these sessions provide the knowledge and tools to embed skills competitions into teaching practice and the workplace.
What the Workshops Cover
1. The Purpose and Importance of Skills Competition Activity
This session introduces the value of skills competitions—from local involvement through to national, UK-wide, and international stages. You'll gain a clear understanding of the competition progression route and how trainees can advance through each level. This session is suitable for staff in post-16 education who want to gain a deeper understanding of skills competitions and how they impact trainee progression.
2. Embedding Skills Competitions
The second session focuses on practical application—how to integrate competition activity into your teaching or workplace. Learn why competition-based learning is so impactful, how it benefits both educators, employers and trainees, and how to make it a sustainable part of your curriculum and employee development.
Why Take Part?
By completing these workshops, you'll be better equipped to deliver high-impact, competition-informed trainee development programmes that truly make a difference.
