About this Event

Class is in session for the future of skills


At Elevating Horizons , Saxon Air is inviting schools, businesses, local authorities and communities to “go back to school” for a day of bold ideas, real-world collaboration and hands-on inspiration.

Young people’s need for skills, passion and opportunity has never been greater – yet too many still lack access to guidance and real-world experiences. Together, we can change that.

  • Innovate Showcase: Hands-on exhibits from employers & innovators
  • Industry & Skills Panel: Insights from DWP, CAA, Aviation Ambassadors, Flight Crowd & EEEGR Skills
  • Networking Lunch: Extended time to connect with peers and partners

Who should attend
  • Primary & secondary school leaders and teachers
  • Colleges, universities, and training providers
  • Alternative provision & SEND specialists
  • Employers, industry partners & trade associations
  • Local government & community networks
