Building on the ongoing work with Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK), ALP have signed an engagement strategy for another one year to support and promote the benefits of the Catalyst programme to ALP members and the wider Work Based Learning (WBL) community.

The Catalyst programme by LLUK is designed to generate new opportunities for all further education (FE) providers to shape the workforce of the future. Working with Department for Innovation Universities and Skills (DIUS now known as BIS), the Catalyst programme will introduce recruitment schemes for graduates, managers and vocational specialists, offering new opportunities for teachers, tutors and trainers to update their vocational skills.

As part of the strategic collaboration, ALP will participate and support LLUK activities regarding Catalyst sub programmes and its services, with an aim to facilitate an effective communication between LLUK and ALP members about LLUK work in the FE sector within England.

The Catalyst programme will encompass four key areas:

• Make a Difference will encourage highly motivated graduate calibre individuals to pursue management career in FE
  
• Business Talent will help FE Providers including ALP members to attract talented managers from other sectors
  
• Business interchange will FE staff the chance to work more closely with local businesses and update their vocational skills
  
• Pass on Your Skills will provide opportunities for skilled specialist to move into teaching roles within FE

Any subsequent related news items about Catalyst programme will be posted here.
