News - Meet the New Learning and Skills Agencies!

If you are working to support organisations or networks working on either young people's learning or adult skills then these events are for you:

The Third Sector National Learning Alliance is holding two key events where we can meet and hear from senior staff at the Young People's Learning Agency, REACT at the Local Government Agency (supporting the local authorities in this transition) and the Skills Funding Agency.

We will also have the opportunity to bring to their attention critical issues from the third sector provider perspective. NAVCA is a key member of the TSNLA. There will also be an input on the Framework for Excellence provided by the LSC.

The 26 February event is in Leeds and the 4 March is in London - both are half day events from 10.00 am to 1.15 followed by lunch. The event in London will be followed by the TSNLA Annual General Meeting.

To register for either event please email tsnla@llccic.org.uk with either *London* or *Leeds* in the subject line of your message.

Delegates will get alive update on how the new agencies and arrangements will fit with and work in partnership with third sector providers and representatives.
