LWTT and Pathways to work in
CLD
The CLD Standards
Council are working on improving access to, and progression
within, community learning and development. They want to see the
continuing improvement of CLD practice, providing quality services
for individuals and communities across Scotland.
To progress this work they have
appointed Linked Work and Training Trust to identify and describe
pathways into work within CLD.
There will be a series of meetings over
the next month to engage workers, training providers, employers,
managers and others in a dialogue to assist in mapping current
provision with entry and exit points, progression routes, crossover
points. This will help with the production of a guide to career
pathways and highlight:
- what other provision needs to be
developed
- any geographic or other issues
- the promotion and development of
different delivery modes
- any issues of duplication or over
provision
LWTT are also keen to record and reflect
individual learners' journeys. How did you enter CLD? How have you
progressed? What worked for you or didn't work?
If you would like to tell
your story in part or full then get in touch with LWTT by calling
Gina on 01324 489666 or emailing gthomson@lwtt.org.uk
