Adult Learners' Week is an annual week-long national campaign delivered each May (in 2008 it's 17 - 23 May) which brings together a wide range of private, public and voluntary sectors bodies, including employers, to inspire people to pursue adult learning - either to catch up on skills not learnt at school, to learn for or at work, or to learn for fun.
The Adult Learners' Week Awards, presented at a national awards ceremony in London, recognise the commitment, interest and passion that adults bring to their learning, including those who have learnt at and for work. They are a great way of celebrating the achievements of employees, recognising work-based learning projects and raising the profile of learning opportunities in your workplace.
Nominations for the 2008 awards are now closed.
The Week has the backing of the Department for Education and Skills and the European Social Fund and is also supported nationally and locally by a raft of prestigious organisations as diverse as Prudential, Ofcom, the Office of Communications, Jobcentre Plus, the Co-op, Royal Mail, Ufi/learndirect, broadcasters - including the BBC, Channel 4 and ITV - and City and Guilds.
