This network is chaired by Karen Biggin, Head of Learning Services at Bracknell & Wokingham College. The group has recently received funding and Skills for Life updates from the Skills Funding Agency and details of the new Work Programme from Jobcentre Plus. The network has also worked closely on the Functional Skills agenda and benefited from hearing about Profiler as well as individual College perspectives. Colleagues are welcome to suggest topics that they are particularly interested in exploring.
