As part of its remit to develop information, advice and guidance for partners and employers, SELLLN has created a number of specialist publications available free.

The ‘introductory guide to vocational qualifications’ for Health and Social Care employers explains qualifications from level 1 through to level 8. The booklet includes a separate poster which shows vocational and academic qualifications side by side.

Summer Network Dates for the Teaching and Learning Programme (TLP) are available online at the Subject Learning Coach website. The Teaching and Learning Programme is funded by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS).

Since the 2006 Leitch report recommended that the UK become a world leader in skills by 2020, employer engagement has been placed high on the agenda of most HE and FE providers.  Subsequently the wealth of research and reports into this area has highlighted the need for more flexible training provision, innovative approaches to curriculum development and clearer lines of communication between employers and training providers.

Vice Chancellor Baroness Blackstone and Les Johnson, Head of the Business School at the University of Greenwich, are pictured here signing one of six progression agreements which were recently developed with SELLLN to enhance the progression of vocational learners into Higher Education.
