Learning and Skills for the Future 2008-2011 Draft

Learning and Skills for the Future - 2008-2011 Draft. The paper, developed by Suffolk County Council and Suffolk LSC on behalf of Suffolk Strategic Partnership (SSP), forms the framework for a Suffolk Adult Learning and Skills Action Plan. A series of workshops and interviews with stakeholders, including employers, learning providers, community partnerships and learners, are taking place during September and October. These will identify specific actions to achieve the outcomes and targets highlighted in the paper and will inform a final action plan. A professional research organisation, Insight Track has been engaged to capture contributions from stakeholders to inform the plan.
