NIACE and women learners

Projects

All of NIACE's work is relevant to women learners, however, the institute is involved in a number of projects and areas of work which are of specific interest to women. Examples are work on: informal learning; family learning; widening participation; information technology; accreditation issues; improving access for groups such as people with learning difficulties and disabilities, older learners and black learners.
