The Key Skills Support Programme
The Key Skills Support Programme is designed to help training
providers, schools and colleges to improve the quality of key skills
provision and pave the way for the introduction of the new key skills
programme from September 2000.
The key skills support programme has a web site which is divided
into two:
- Key
Skills in Schools and Colleges
FEDA is working with schools and colleges to support the
introduction of the new Key Skills Qualification.
- Key
skills in Work based training
These pages are being developed by Learning for Work to help
implement your programme for key skills via the work-based route
by providing information, support and sources of guidance for
work based training.
