Engage and Learn Forum – Lifelong Learning and Professional Development
Date: Wednesday 2nd February
Time: 11.00 – 12.30pm
Location: Devonshire G21 / 22
Delivering Lifelong Learning and Continuing Professional Development (LL&CPD) is a key part of our Engagement and Place Strategy and an important way of engaging with external organisations and publics. Through our approach to inclusive education and Lifelong Learning we aim to support social mobility and the higher-level skills needed for the future economy. LL&CPD can help colleagues to build their reputation and relationships as well as generating income and impact. LL&CPD also contribute to the University’s Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF), which benchmarks the contribution Universities make to society and the economy.
Ahead of the National Apprenticeship Week, our Dean of Lifelong Learning and Professional Practice, Professor René Koglbauer, will open this Forum with reflections on the status quo of our lifelong learning offer, the national lifelong learning and skills policy debates and how they influence our approach in developing strategic educational partnerships in the region and beyond. References will be made to recent lifelong learning programme developments. Andrew Carr, Clinical Teaching Fellow, will also share his learnings from developing a CPD offer for dentists. Attendees will also be introduced to the newly launched Lifelong Learning and Apprenticeship Hub, and there will be ample opportunity to discuss the diversification of our education.
