Overview

The Learning and Skills Task Force has been established to:

• develop a strategy for learning and skills
• encourage and facilitate projects that contribute to the Programme's objectives
• work with other Task Forces to ensure an integrated approach to the programme

The Task Force is a sub group of the The Learning Partnership for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.This Partnership was formed in 1999 to encourage collaboration among those involved in post 16 learning. Members include the schools, colleges and other agencies delivering adult learning as well as representatives of the voluntary sector and business community.

The Partnership works to achieve the broad aims set by Government and in particular to develop strategies which will achieve the National Learning Targets. Such strategies are likely to involve collaboration between all the partners, and such collaboration will result only from a development of mutual trust and understanding.

Further information on the Partnership, including its members and activities, can be found on the Partnership website:
www.cornwall-learning-partnership.org

The link between the Task Force and Partnership has been established to ensure that the Objective One Programme complements the wider Learning and Skills agenda in Cornwall.
