A POWERFUL vision to transform the area into a learning county and boost its economy is driving forward Cumbria's new Learning & Skills Council.
The LSC is taking charge of youth and adult training across the county as part of a major government shake-up of post-16 learning.
It hopes to encourage more people over the age of 16 into education and training, raise education standards for 16 to 19-year-olds and improve the quality of training in the workplace.
To contact Cumbria Learning and Skills Council, telephone 01900-700050.
