Regional Implementation of National Sector Skills Agreements

Duration: 21 September 2005 to 19 October 2005

This Learning Theme looked at what SSAs (Sector Skills Agreements) will mean for the region. We explored the role of Regional Skills Partnerships in the development and delivery of the SSAs and how this relates to the regional skills agenda.

Read SLIM's Bulletin which introduced the Theme, describing the function of SSAs, tracking their development and speculating on what this might mean for the skills partners in the region. The Bulletin also provides a "who's who" in the Skills for Business network in the region.

THEME ACTIVITIES
SLIM Learning Themes bring practitioners, researchers and policy makers together face to face and on-line to exchange ideas, practice and details of what works, where and why. During Theme SLIM researchers:

identify, summarise and contextualise research for participants

interview policy makers

identify projects demonstrating good practice and write these up as case studies and

facilitate an on-line discussion

Resources will be highlighted during an on-line discussion and made available through our website at www.swslim.org.uk.

This Theme will culminate in a workshop bringing together participants to reflect on the findings and discussion and to develop recommendations for our Final Report. This will be distributed widely in the region

Resources will be highlighted via the on-line discussion and made available through the buttons on this page.

Research briefs, summarising our research and findings will be available.
