The research project is to look at the specific skills needed by vocational learners, in the science and engineering sectors, in order for them to progress successfully onto Further and Higher Education. Linda will be identifying which skills in particular would be of most benefit to learners and then will develop a programme of delivery to address these skills. The project is due to be completed by March 2010 so that the results can be disseminated nationally.
Anyone interested in knowing more or who would like to contribute to the research can contact Linda at
