The SoLT Conference 2024 theme is: Access, Equity and Pathways. The SoLT Conference is designed as a platform for vocational and higher education engagement where educators, researchers, policymakers and industry leaders are able to exchange ideas, share best practices and discuss the latest educational trends.

Vocational and higher education institutions alike have a responsibility to well-prepare students for their careers ahead. Tertiary institutions also have a crucial role in fostering inclusive, equitable, and prosperous societies.

Workshops that focus on any aspect of SoLT are welcomed. Preference in the selection process will be given to workshops that demonstrate an experiential component and are well connected to the conference theme.

Workshop proposals can be submitted below, on or before Monday 15 April 2024.
