A key priority for the Welsh Assembly Government is to secure a workforce that is sufficiently skilled to access future high level employment opportunities. Evidence suggests that to help achieve this, we should seek ways to more fully integrate the work of schools, Further Education Institutions, Higher Education Institutions and other post -16 providers. This will transform the ways in which education and training provision is delivered.
The Assembly Government expects learning providers to take the necessary steps to form geographic and sectoral Learning Partnerships by November 2008. The submission of outline proposals for change, as a Strategic Outline Programme, should be submitted to DCELLS, by January 15th 2009.
