  2. Workforce Development ‘We need to develop radical approaches that can lead to much higher levels of access to higher education by older people already in the workplace. This means models of HE that make available relevant, flexible and responsive provision that meets the high skill needs of employers and their staff.... I would like you to develop a new model for funding higher education that is co-financed with employers, achieves sustained growth in employer based student places, and introduces the principle of employer demand-led funding.’ January 2007 HEFCE Grant Letter

  3. HEFCE Investment 2008-11 • £100M investment to develop HE infrastructure for employer workforce development • £50M HEFCE co-funded provision allocated to more than 90 HEIs and FECs • Diversity of approaches: institutional, regional, national, sectoral • Intention that existing investment provides a sustainable platform for further growth from 2011-12 onwards
