  • South Yorkshire Lifelong Learning Network
    South Yorkshire Lifelong Learning Network Briefing No. 1 January 2006 Welcome to this first briefing of the proposal to develop a new Lifelong Learning Network (LLN) in South Yorkshire. The paper provides a background to the development of the Network and details the activity to be undertaken in developing a full business case to be submitted to the Higher Education Funding Council for England to resource a Network in the years to 2010. The South Yorkshire Lifelong Learning Network The South Yorkshire Lifelong Learning Network will be developed out of the core partnership of the Building Pathways Project, the Further and Higher Education widening participation partnership. The partners include all the Universities and Further Education Colleges in South Yorkshire and bordering areas. Sheffield Hallam University is the lead institution. The Network will be created in response to a new initiative from the Higher Education Funding Council in England (HEFCE). The provisional proposals for a Network in South Yorkshire have recently been accepted and the partnership is embarking on a development phase with the aim to submit a full business plan for HEFCE Strategic Development Funding by April 2006. The LLN in South Yorkshire will improve progression opportunities through vocational learning and offer students the opportunity to move in and out of HE throughout their working lives, in identified curriculum areas. The LLN will add value to what institutions already do by offering progression entitlements and the development of progression accords between the partners, to a wide range of existing and newly developed programmes. What are Lifelong Learning Networks? In June 2004, HEFCE invited institutions to consider establishing Lifelong Learning Networks to provide a focus on vocational routes into and through higher education in the context of lifelong learning.

  • So, What Next?
    0 1 - 9 0 0 2 g n i r p S / r e So, what next? t n i W After reflecting on achievements in the latest Annual Report 2008 –09, and evaluating the impact of the network, I am delighted to report that Higher Futures is now embedding valuable areas of work with strong commitment from partners. Although funding ceased in December 2009, activity has been rolled out into spring 2010, allowing existing work, as well as new projects started last summer, to continue. As you would expect, many members of the team have moved to new roles and new organisations, but many are still in post and committed to promoting the progression of vocational learners. The HEFCE Economic Challenge Investment Fund (ECIF) initiative is now fully operational, with practitioners across the network providing tailored information, advice and guidance (IAG) services to individuals affected by the economic downturn. This is enhancing the support provided by Jobcentre Plus and other external partners such as Business Link, and providing an important platform for continued partnership working. It's great to see the continued enthusiasm of colleagues and teams across the network and I look forward to continuing our The Directorate team activities through 2010. Rob Harrison Higher Futures is the Lifelong Learning Network Director (LLN) for South Yorkshire and its travel-to-study area, including North Derbyshire and North Nottinghamshire. We are one of 30 LLNs nationally, funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England. Higher Futures Presents… Our aim is to create a network to transform higher education progression pathways and opportunities the Past, Present and Future for vocational and work-based learners.
