Special arrangements for Sussex learners

28 Jun 2007

Day two of the Sussex Learning Network conference 2007 featured the official launch of the Sussex Vocational Progression Accord. The SLN is developing special arrangements to help learners in Sussex to get onto the courses they want. These are called progression agreements. They are being set up in a number of subject areas, and will be of particular benefit to adult learners who may be thinking about university or college study for the first time, either to help them get on at work, or to give them the skills and qualifications they need to get a job.

The Sussex Vocational Progression Accord sets out the commitment of the universities, colleges, local authorities and employers’ organisations in Sussex to make vocational learning a shared priority. 26 key partners, including all the providers of further and higher education across Sussex, have signed up to the Sussex Vocational Progression Accord, and details of individual agreements in different subject areas will begin to be promoted to learners from September 2007.

More information on the progression agreements can be found in the Practitioner network.
