Improving Training and Development Opportunities for Graduates in the South West: Research Briefs

Duration: 07 September 2004 to 20 October 2004 

For each learning theme, SLIM will produce a number of Research Briefs which present the main findings from the relevant literature, identify key data and links, and summarize the main ideas generated by the online discussions and workshops. In a short and concise format, they draw our research together into an easily digestible form and clearly indicate the direction and evolution of the current theme topic.
