Who’s who in learning and skills

Tuesday 17 January 2012 (10.15-12.30)
Northern Ballet, Quarry Hill, Leeds LS2 7PA

Who's who in learning and skills is one in the series of Landscape seminars run by Involve Yorkshire & Humber.

Our briefing Learning and Skills in a changing world (April 2011) revealed an almost completely changed landscape from before the general election. Organisations (including Involve Yorkshire & Humber) are still catching up with all the change.

This seminar will identify the people, and explore their roles and powers, whose decisions now impact on the work of voluntary and community sector (VCS) learning and skills organisations. It will bring together all the information on learning and skills you need to plan your organisation's future. Book now.

You will

understand the emerging structures
gain an understanding of key people's roles, powers and levels of influence
have an excellent opportunity to meet and network with speakers and other key organisations
