Enhancing Learner Support through Lifelong Learning Networks in Southeast England

This document outlines the role of Lifelong Learning Networks (LLNs) in providing Information, Advice, and Guidance (IAG) for students pursuing higher education (HE) who may not typically progress through traditional routes. Funded by HEFCE and operational until November 2010, this initiative connects four universities and 22 partner colleges to offer vocational programs, curriculum development, and professional development for staff. It emphasizes customized support for learners, aspiring professionals, and industry-specific training, while fostering collaboration through events and networking opportunities.
