Recognising the many benefits of lifelong learning for people, society and the economy
Committing to building a future where everyone can learn throughout life
Leading by example to get the nation learning.
Our commitment comes during Get the Nation Learning Week, the high point of the campaign year. Up and down the country, organisations are strengthening and showcasing their impact on lifelong learning. L&W are also hosting a range of high-profile events, including the Get the Nation Learning Awards, and publishing the latest Adult Participation in Learning Survey.
Whether you’re looking to boost your skills, change careers, or simply try something new, there’s a wealth of opportunities available for you across Devon and Cornwall. Visit our Explore Training pages to see what training is on offer or take a look at our Which Way? Your Way! Guide, which shows the range of post-16 training and skills routes that are out there.
Stephen Evans, Chief Executive, L&W, said: “When adults learn, our society and economy thrive. Growth, productivity, good work, resilient communities, fuller and richer lives. These are just some of the benefits lifelong learning can bring.
“Despite this, public investment in adult learning has declined dramatically in the last decade. The same is true for employer investment in workplace training, with large inequalities in who accesses learning opportunities.
“As changes in technology leave us all needing new skills and know-how for life inside and outside of work, levels of learning cannot continue to languish. It’s time to turn the tide. It’s time to get the nation learning. We’re delighted that the DCTPN has joined the movement.”
Sharron Robbie, CEO, DCTPN, added: “We believe lifelong learning is the key to unlocking potential, fostering innovation, and building resilient communities. By joining this campaign, we’re championing a culture where learning never stops and everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
“Our network members have a wide-range of training options for everyone, so that whatever your age or where you are on your career journey there will be something there to support you.”
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
