West Yorkshire - Lifelong Learning Network

The main aim of the West Yorkshire Lifelong Learning Network is “to strengthen the performance of West Yorkshire businesses and the regional economy through improved vocational and work-based progression of young people and adults into and through higher education”.

Vocational and work-based learners in West Yorkshire do not always enjoy the same opportunities as students taking more ‘traditional’ academic routes into and through higher education. By working together with our partners, the WYLLN aims to improve the coherence, clarity and certainty of progression opportunities for all vocational learners into and through higher education.

One of the key activities of the WYLLN will be to develop Progression Agreements in order to establish clear and coherent routes onto higher education courses and provide vocational learners with opportunities equal to traditional learners following academic routes.
