Teesside University –
New Approaches to Workforce Development
3 November, 2011
Workforce Development
‘We need to develop radical approaches that can lead to much
higher levels of access to higher education by older people
already in the workplace.
This means models of HE that make available relevant, flexible
and responsive provision that meets the high skill needs of
employers and their staff....
I would like you to develop a new model for funding higher
education that is co-financed with employers, achieves sustained
growth in employer based student places, and introduces the
principle of employer demand-led funding.’
January 2007 HEFCE Grant Letter
HEFCE Investment 2008-11
• £100M investment to develop HE infrastructure for
employer workforce development
• £50M HEFCE co-funded provision allocated to more than
90 HEIs and FECs
• Diversity of approaches: institutional, regional, national,
sectoral

platform for further growth from 2011-12 onwards
