The University of Central Lancashire is pleased to announce the following
conference:
Higher Education and the Learning and Skills Council II
Friday 5th July 2002
University of Central Lancashire
Keynote speakers
Alice Frost, Project Manager - HEFCE/Learning and Skills Council
Partnerships for Progression Team
Janice Shiner, Director-General for Lifelong Learning,
Department for Education and Skills
Rob Wye, Director of Learning Programmes, Learning and Skills Council
Just over a year since the establishment of the Learning and Skills Council,
there has already been significant engagement between the HE sector and the
Learning and Skills Council. FE/HE collaboration is seen as the key to
meeting the Government's commitment to increasing participation in HE.
HEFCE and the LSC have recently published their joint Partnership for
Progression proposals for regional collaboration and many Higher Education
institutions are represented on local Learning and Skills Councils.
Following on from a similar successful Conference on the same theme held in
July 2001, this Conference will address the links between the HE sector and
the Learning and Skills Council at national, regional and local levels.
It aims to:
· Examine the national strategic framework for cooperation between
Higher Education and the Learning and Skills Council
· Contribute to the ongoing debate on how FE/HE collaboration can
contribute to meeting the Government's manifesto commitment of '50% of 18-30
year olds having experience of HE by 2010'
· Discuss the role of regional bodies in co-ordinating collaboration
between the post-16 and HE sectors
· Share experience and good practice of working with local Learning and
Skills Councils
Who Should Attend
· Senior Policy Makers in HE
· Staff and members of local Learning and Skills Councils
· University Associations
· Regional Development Agencies
· Local Authority representatives
· Business Links
· Funding Administrators in HEIs
· Policy makers and administrators in FE sectors
· Regional Government Offices
The cost of the conference including refreshments, lunch and all conference
papers is £100 plus VAT.
