We’re excited to invite passionate, insightful, and engaging speakers to be part of Global Skills Week 2027. While system-wide change is shaped by forces beyond any single institution, our 2027 programme will focus on practical opportunities within your control: using labour‑market intelligence to evolve curricula, strengthening employer partnerships, and creating clearer pathways from education into work. We’re seeking speakers to deliver impactful sessions aligned with these four themes:

• Rebuilding the First Step: The Early-Career Pathway
• Reckoning with Value: Outcomes, Credentials and Accountability
• Redesigning Workforce Infrastructure for an AI Economy
• Repositioning Talent: The Global Contest for Skills

Whether you’re an experienced speaker or bringing a fresh perspective, we’d love to hear from you.

Submission Deadline: 4 December 2026

What are we looking for?

• Session formats can be talks, case studies or interactive discussions
• Duration: 30 minutes
• Format: In-person
