January 2011 marks a start of the implementation of the Government's plans for HE. This conference will not only identify the challenges of current government policy for HE and its partners but will also identify strategies in which these challenges can be met. There will be the opportunity to learn about cutting edge work which is taking place through partnership working and to consider how it can be sustained, to share views and experiences through a variety of workshops on specific themes around learning in the workplace, progression from apprenticeships to HE, inclusion, guidance, and admissions and visit a range of market stalls in the learning zones and access free resources.

The conference is organised jointly by NIACE, Lifelong Learning Networks and University Vocational Awards Council.
