Learning4Warminster
This initiative was conceived by the Warminster & Villages Community Partnership (WVCP) and the Warminster & District Chamber of Trade & Commerce (WDCTC) as a local life-long learning network and forum for the people of the Warminster Area. As a community asset, it is open to all as both a resource and as a framework for capturing ideas and contributions related to education, skills and learning. It is currently seen as:
- a channel for making the people of the Warminster Area aware of learning opportunities and associated funding support and encouraging them to learn new skills, fulfil their potential and improve the quality of their lives at home and at work.
- complementing the learning and training 'Push' by the Learning & Skills Council (LSC) and similar bodies by providing some local 'Pull'. An example of this was the L4W event on 24 February 2004 at the Assembly Hall designed to help local businesses get some of the £16M currently available for Basic Skills and NVQ Level 2 training through the LSC's Free 2 Learn programme.
- ensuring that learning opportunities are presented and 'marketed' in the area in a way that is tailored to people's needs and perspectives e.g. by avoiding 'organisation speak' and otherwise presenting things in an easy-to-grasp manner.
