"What's Hot" Newsletter - a bi-monthly online newsletter that brings together essential news and key developments at both national and regional level for colleagues in the Learning and Skills Sector.
Regional Networks & Forums - designed to bring together practitoners within learning and skills contexts to
• link to national and regional agendas which concern professional and workforce
development.
• contribute to relevant consultation and debate.
• analyse change and impact on individuals and organisations.
• share excellent practices and generate innovative approaches to fresh challenges.
• support and enjoy a professional identity and purpose.
We work whenever possible with our other national/regional partners, LSIS, AoC, NIACE and JISC (ICT in Teaching and Learning) in working together to foster a useful and productive forum for the region.
