Presentations from SELLLN's successful First Year Conference, hosted in January 2008, are now available to download. Keynote speakers were Deian Hopkin, Vice-Chancellor, London South Bank University and London Skills and Employment Board; Gareth Smith, Deputy Head of PODIUM (London 2012) and Kevin Whitston, Head of Widening Participation, HEFCE.

The SELLLN Second Year Conference was attended by over 90 people from 39 different organisations who have a stake or interest in SELLLN. The delegates included education practitioners from our partner institutions, members of sector skills councils, employers and many other organisations who are active in post-compulsory education.

On 20th January 2009 the Student Performance team at Lambeth College attended and contributed to a special programme that celebrated the inauguration of Barack Obama.  It provided students with an opportunity to engage in a meaningful debate about their futures and to actively mark the significance of the historic day.
