The Sussex Learning Network (SLN) came into being in September 2005. It is a partnership of universities, colleges, training providers and guidance agencies who together want to transform the opportunities for vocational learners in Sussex.

Our aim is to offer learners the chance to benefit from higher education wherever they live or work in Sussex. This means employees, employers,  professionals working in higher or further education or individuals thinking about developing or changing their career.  So what is different about the SLN?

It is a 'network of networks' that draws together the work of a great many other agencies who are already contributing to improving learning for people of all ages.

We are adding to their efforts by:

• providing clear pathways into higher education for vocational learners
• enabling staff in partner institutions across Sussex to work together to plan, develop and deliver an improved service
• offering employers and learners a chance to influence and shape the development of vocational learning
• being a source of information, innovation and inspiration for all those who want to improve their knowledge and skills.
