New Site! Learning Opportunities in the South East
5 Mar 2009
www.learning-opportunities.org.uk
Phase 1 of the new Learning at Work Information Service (LAWIS) website is live! Learning Opportunities in the South East covers nine counties as we roll out the work done in Sussex over the past two years to include Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Medway, Oxfordshire and Surrey.It may look like the Learning Opportunities in Sussex website, we have refreshed, re-written and updated the content to provide a rich resource for all those with an interest in vocational higher education. It’s for people in work, returning to work or about to enter the workforce, plus those providing advice, support and brokerage relating to vocational higher education.
Learning Opportunities is a one stop shop which pulls together good quality resources into a user friendly website. Where resources exist, we link to them. Where they don’t exist, we produce them.
What’s there?
- Ask a question, or email us if you can’t find what you need.
- Download a Personal Planning Pack – all the pages on the site viewed in one session are gathered together into a pdf that can be edited and saved or printed. The pack includes advice about making a decision and applying for higher education.
- Practical advice about things like making the best of redundancy and returning to learning
- An advisers’ pack to download or use online.
- Careers advice across the South East.
- Information sheets covering everything from finance and childcare to confidence building.
- Links to SussexRoutes and Hampshire & IW Routes – the online progression tools – plus information about progression agreements across the rest of the region.
If you have clients or contacts who have been using the Learning Opportunities in Sussex link, don’t worry, they will be redirected to www.learning-opportunities.org.uk – with the enhanced content plus popular sites like Foundation Degrees in Sussex.
Coming soon (June 2009)
