Key education and regeneration representatives from across south west Wales are set to come together to mark the Regional Learning Partnership’s Annual Event in Llanelli.
The event – themed ‘A Vision for Quality for South West Wales; Economy, Education and Skills’ – is being held at the Parc y Scarlets stadium, on Wednesday, September 28, from 9.30am-3.30pm.
Its aim is to showcase the achievements of the Partnership to date and set out the key areas to inform its future delivery across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and Swansea.
The Minister for Education and Skills – Leighton Andrews AM (pictured) – will open the event, which is the second to be held, and discuss the role and benefits and future opportunities for the Partnership within the collaborative agenda.
He said: “This event provides an excellent opportunity for all the key sectors to come together to focus on the quality of learning and skills opportunities across the south west Wales region to benefit the learner.”
A number of exhibitors from within the region – representing the private, public and voluntary sectors – will be in attendance as well as notable key speakers and facilitators within the various workshops.
The RLP, which is supported by the European Social Fund (ESF) – through the Welsh Government – and other domestic sources, works with Local Authorities, Higher Education and Further Education Institutions, the Third Sector and Work-Based Learning providers.
It also has links with the private sector through the South Wales Chamber of Commerce, alongside key partners such as Careers Wales West, JobCentre Plus and NIACE Dysgu Cymru.
