Our Goals

We're clear about our aims and how we intend to achieve them.

We're clear about our aims and how we intend to achieve them.
We have set the date of 2010 for raising the knowledge and skills of our country's young people and adults to be among the best in the world. And we will reach that goal not by small changes to existing approaches but by a radical corporate plan designed to change the national approach to learning. It's a plan with clear targets and measurements; over the next few years we will be able to gauge our progress and make certain we stay on track.

Our priorities are to:

1. Make learning truly demand-led so that it better meets the needs of employers, young people and adults.
2. Ensure that all 14-19-year-olds have access to high quality, relevant learning opportunities.
3. Transform further education so that it attracts and stimulates more business investment in training and skills development.
4. Strengthen the role of the LSC in economic development so that we provide the skills needed to help all individuals into jobs.
5. Strengthen the LSC's capacity to work effectively at a regional level - particularly with Regional Development Agencies and Regional Skills Partnerships.
6. Improve the skills of the workers who are delivering public services.
