Barnsley Neighbourhood Learning Net
http://www.barnsleylearning.net/
The Barnsley Neighbourhood Learning Net is:
- made up of individual Learning Nets which are based in the community and are managed by Community Partnerships.
- funded through the South Yorkshire Learning and Skills Council (LSCSY)
- one of four models being piloted in South Yorkshire
The purpose of the Neighbourhood Learning Net is:
- to encourage adults (16+) to become involved in learning, especially those who are disadvantaged and hard to reach.
- to provide effective support, information and advice for learners towards building their self-confidence, encouraging them to progress in their learning and increasing their employability.
- to consult local people to find out what kind of learning provision is needed in their community.
- to feedback information about learner needs and local labour market requirements to the various learning providers and encourage them to put on appropriate community-based courses.
- to inform the planning process for continuous improvement to the community-based adult learning curriculum and infrastructure.
Barnsley Association of Community Partnerships is a key partner in the Barnsley Neighbourhood Learning Net
