Application Form for the 2008-2009
Skills for Life Improvement Programme

Before completing the application form to access support, please read the information below.

Is your organisation willing and able to commit the required staff time? 

The support comprises some of the following elements:

  • Regional peer working group meetings to develop and share practice and resources across providers
  • In-house management consultancy targeting senior and other managers
  • In-house support for staff teams in development activities
  • In-house or locally hosted CPD sessions, tailored to your organisation’s needs

In order to maximise the impact of the support on learners, staff and organisations, you and other staff within your organisation will need to access all relevant elements of the support package.  This will need a commitment of staff time and the full support of senior managers.  If your organisation is willing and able to make this commitment please apply.

Register your details and select the activity or activities that you would like to participate in.

Apply early for your organisation to get the maximum possible support this year.

Applications will continue to be accepted until such time as the programme targets are reached. However it will be advantageous to apply early.

Following your application

  • There will be a selection process for all providers who applied by the initial closing date.
  • The programme team will contact and notify you of the outcome of your application.
  • Forms received after the initial closing date will enter a second round selection process for the remaining places available.
