The shared vision is clear:1. We have to urgently address the systemic issues of traditional education, for a growing cohort of learners and workers.2. We have to better meet the changing requirements of employers, to close the employability gap.3. We have a stark imperative to do this right at the centre of our communities - the high street.WE NEED LIFELONG LEARNINGNWC has developed a hop-on hop-off, flexible Lifelong Learning pathway.
