Yorkshire Forward
Regional Development Agency - Yorkshire Forward: The RDA has already been instrumental in the development of the project through the provision of pump-priming funds. The consortium is keen to build upon this partnership and to contribute to the implementation of the RDA's Regional Economic Strategy and Regional Skills Action Plan. We have already developed working links with the Doncaster Learning Partnership and aim to extend this to the 3 other bodies in the sub-region. The Local Learning Partnerships will have a significant role in co-ordinating training and education provision across the area. We will feed our plans into these bodies and also use them as a vehicle for developing broader partnerships with other educational agencies.
