'Transforming lives and communities through lifelong learning'

The key priorities of the Service are to:

To ensure that all adults can access and benefit from a wide range of informal adult learning opportunities delivered in their local community.
To provide 'First Steps' courses for adults who are least likely to engage in learning, and support them to progress to further learning or employment.
To promote social inclusion and community cohesion across Staffordshire through the provision of positive learning experiences for adults and families.
To provide targeted family learning programmes to raise the achievement of children and help parents and carers to develop their own learning.
To deliver Skills for Life programmes for County Council employees and in local communities, to meet identified gaps in provision.
To continue to improve the quality of our provision and actively promote equality and diversity.

There are learning opportunities very close to home in the 8 districts of Staffordshire. We work closely with Community and Learning Partnerships and local colleges to provide a broad range of learning opportunities for Staffordshire residents.
