A partnership of universities and FE colleges led by Edge Hill University, the Greater Merseyside and West Lancashire Lifelong Learning Network is initially concentrating on areas of regional skills shortages:
- Health and Social Care
- Creative and Cultural industries
- Hospitality, Tourism, Sport and Active Leisure
- Financial Services
The Greater Merseyside and West Lancashire Lifelong Learning Network, initially funded by HEFCE, is a collaborative scheme, one of the first of many to be set up across the country in response to the government initiative to promote vocational and workplace progression into, and through, higher education.
Based at Silkhouse Court in Liverpool city centre, partners include Edge Hill University, the University of Liverpool and the Open University, along with twelve further education colleges, providing a range of Foundation Degrees and Year Zero qualifications.
Working closely with other organisations including Aimhigher and Connexions, we will be offering support and help to individuals, including advice on:
- What study options are available
- The different levels of qualifications
- What the application process involves
We will provide clear information, tailored to an individual’s needs.
