About lifelong learning

The overall objective for Lifelong Learning Networks (LLNs) is to improve the coherence, clarity and certainty of progression opportunities for vocational learners into and through higher education.

The West Yorkshire Lifelong Learning Network (WYLLN) is one of 29 LLNs across England. The WYLLN is a partnership of higher education institutions, further education colleges and other organisations throughout West Yorkshire all committed to providing quality vocational progression for learners to progress into higher education.

The WYLLN is the largest such project in the country, with funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) of £5.9 million from March 2007 – July 2010.

The Networks are a concept introduced and funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). LLNs aim to improve the coherence, clarity and certainty of progression opportunities for vocational learners into and through higher education. LLNs will focus on demand-led curriculum developments in order to meet the higher level skills needs of employers within the region.

The WYLLN is focusing its activities around 7 sectors which reflect the sub-regional higher level skill priorities identified by Yorkshire Forward and those of the Learning and Skills Council for West Yorkshire.
