Work at the SLN!

17 Feb 2009

We are looking to appoint a new Director and deputy Director to the Sussex Learning Network (SLN).

The SLN was one of the first Lifelong Learning Networks (LLNS) to be funded in September 2005. Led by the University of Brighton it is a partnership of four universities and seven colleges. It is now looking for two experienced managers to lead the next phase of its development to 2012. The main focus will be to establish and successfully deliver the newly HEFCE funded Centre for Work and Learning which will be the focus for workforce development and employer engagement between further and higher education. In addition there is oversight of the separately funded Learning at Work Information Service in the South East. This project is supported by four LLNs, the LSC and SEEDA and runs to 2010.
