A Learning and Skills Strategy

"The Learning and Skills Strategy sets out a vision for a learning region and offers a framework for achieving that vision. It is entirely encompassed within the Regional Strategy (as the Investing in People section). The strategy is based on a formal Labour Market assessment and the extensive consultation exercise undertaken by the NWDA; it has been further informed by a standing group (the Skills and Learning Forum) representing key players in education and training and a group of employers and their representatives. Throughout the strategy the phrase ‘learning and skills’ embraces all elements of education and learning appropriate to social and economic fulfillment.
