The overall aim of this work is to bring learning opportunities into Ryedale so that people can benefit by having local access.

What’s new in Learning, Training and Development for the VCS?
The North Yorkshire Learning Consortium (NYLC)

The NYLC has been established as a single access point for the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) providing a vehicle for securing funds and managing contracts for high quality, relevant and accessible training delivery in the sub region of York and North Yorkshire.

The development of a consortium is consistent with the Learning and Skills Council’s approach to funding training delivered by the sector both regionally and nationally.

The current members of the North Yorkshire Learning Consortium form the Board, but other member categories will be developed to ensure that all voluntary and community sector organisations can become members if they wish.

Tracy Beecroft (RVA Development Officer) is a member of the board in her capacity as chair of the Learning and Skills Network (LSN).
