Adult progression into part-time Higher Education:  a reality check for new times

Wednesday 26 January 2011, The Brunei Gallery, London WC1H 0XG

Conference:     10am to 4.30pm

Post-event drinks reception sponsored by CfE:  4.30pm to 6.00pm

 

This conference is brought to you jointly by NIACE, Lifelong Learning Networks and University Vocational Awards Council.  We share a common purpose to promote the need for flexible provision, work-based learning opportunities and guidance for non-traditional adult learners. These are paramount not only to individual success but also to increase the nation’s skills and knowledge.

 

January 2011 marks a start of the implementation of the Government’s plans for Higher Education following the Comprehensive Spending Review and the re-ordering of Departmental priorities following the publication of the Browne Review.

 

This conference will not only identify the challenges of current government policy for higher education and its partners but will also identify strategies in which these challenges can be met. There will be the opportunity to learn about cutting edge work which is taking place through partnership working and to consider how it can be sustained, to share views and experiences through a variety of workshops on specific themes around learning in the workplace, progression from apprenticeships to HE, inclusion, guidance, and admissions and visit a range of market stalls in the learning zones and access free resources.

 

The line-up of confirmed speakers includes:

David Willetts, Minister of State for Universities and Science

Christine King, Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive, Staffordshire University

Adrian Anderson, Chief Executive, University Vocational Awards Council

Michael Davis, UK Commission for Employment and Skills

Jillian Ward, Chair of LLN National Directors Forum

Pat Whaley, Programme Director for Higher Education, NIACE

 

The conference will be of interest to those employed in both further and higher education, adult education providers, training providers, Unionlearn, and those involved in careers guidance. Employers interested in upskilling their workforce as well as Sector Skills Councils will also find it of interest.
