About the Annual Lecture
Collaboration in higher education is often discussed in theory but rarely implemented at scale. Vicki Stott, Chief Executive Officer at QAA, will explore how the higher education sector can work with FE, schools and local infrastructure such as LSIPs to move beyond overcomplication and deliver lifelong learning opportunities that meet local economic needs and tackle entrenched social challenges.
Why attend?
By attending this session, you will learn innovative ideas for implementing collaboration that meets both educational and economic needs. You will learn from real examples of successful regional partnerships and how they can scale and understand how to navigate policy levers and regulatory frameworks without letting them become barriers
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, delegates will be able to:
1. Identify models to shift from theory to practice in partnerships that support lifelong learning and economic development
2. Apply strategies to engage diverse learner populations, including those disengaged from early education, within collaborative frameworks 3. Understand how external levers and drives influence collaborative models
Is this lecture right for you?
This lecture is ideal for those interested in collaborative working and looking beyond their institution to deliver inclusive educational opportunities, regardless of seniority.
The talk will include provocations interesting to those new in the sector, while also challenging those established in the sector to think differently.
