Stars for skills:  The LSC ESF Award

The Learning and Skills Council’s (LSC’s) single goal is to improve the skills of individuals across the UK to ensure a workforce of world-class standard.

As the LSC European Social Fund (ESF) 2000-2006 programme draws to a close, we want to take this opportunity to recognise the hard work that has been put into the success of the programme. We want providers to look back at their Objective 2, Objective 3 or EQUAL ESFfunded projects and nominate individuals who they feel have made the most of the opportunities provided by the funding.

The awards will recognise individuals or beneficiaries, across all six sub-regions, who have either excelled or made significant progress in their programme. Entries from each sub-region will be short listed in February and finalists will be invited to attend the awards ceremony taking place at the Hayward Suite, Molineux, Wolverhampton, on 12 March 2008, which will be hosted by BBC Midlands Today journalist Ashley Blake.

The judges will be looking for the nominee with the best story to tell in each category. The shortlisted and winning nominees will not necessarily be those who have achieved the most, although this will be a consideration, they will be those who have developed furthest or have strived to overcome barriers or who have used their acquired skills to the full.
