Learning and Skills VCS Network (LSVN)
Involve Yorkshire & Humber facilitates the vibrant the Learning and Skills Voluntary and Community Sector Network (LVSN).
We are very grateful to the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) for supporting this important network. LSIS aims to accelerate quality improvement, increase participation and raise standards and achievement in the learning and skills sector in Englandand we are proud to share those goals.
Although it has only been running since 2010, this Network has already gathered great impetus - we are collectively charting the way forward for our sector in a difficult environment.
The Network specifically for voluntary organisations with an interest in learning and skills - whether as a deliverer, user, or promoter of education and skills training for adults in FE, Adult and Community Learning, or for organisations where learning is just part of what they offer.
Every meeting has an opportunity for members' own views to be aired and channelled - this is a great time to find out common issues and deciding on courses of action.
