Workforce development programme
We are developing a new relationship between higher education (HE) and employers through our workforce development programme.
The programme turns on two related goals - the design and delivery of HE courses in partnership with employers, and to increase the number of learners in the workplace supported by their employers. The programme will run from 2008-2011. These pages explore the programme strands.

How it's funded
We fund employer engagement in two main ways - 'capacity funding' and employer co-funded 'provision funding'.
