NEW! INDEPENDENT!
Launched on Learning at Work Day, 22nd May 2008.
Learning and skills in the workplace are a key priority.
The Leitch Review has identified the need for World Class skills. Initiatives like Train to Gain and Modern Apprenticeships continue to grow in importance, as do programmes for literacy and numeracy, and first Level 2 and Level 3 skills.
WORKPLACE Learning and Skills Bulletin keeps you up-to-date on key developments with informed coverage of policy and practice.
