How can the West Yorkshire Lifelong Learning Network help learners?
Learners will benefit from: • The development of new progression routes into higher education for vocational learners to help clarify where they can go next. • The creation of new higher level courses, developed in collaboration with employers to ensure courses are relevant and answer the needs of businesses in West Yorkshire. • The provision of improved, relevant and impartial information, advice and guidance for vocational learners enabling them to make more informed decisions. • The development of a new Credit Framework to value and recognise the achievements of vocational and work-based learners. • More flexible ways of learning, for example part-time, work-based, bite-size or distance learning modules or courses meaning it is not always necessary to lose valuable time away from work. • Improving their vocational skills, helping to boost their career prospects, realise their aspirations and increase their chance of promotion and earning potential.
