In this interactive session with Vicky Beckwith, we’ll share a learner story and unpack what transformation looks like beyond qualifications. 

Together, we’ll consider:

• How do we measure learning that changes lives, not just develops skills?
• What systemic barriers get in the way?
• How can cross-sector collaboration support deeper impact?

What to expect:

• Questions to ponder and audience participation
• A breakout discussion on ‘What are your ideas for measuring transformation?’
• Practical tools and future-focused ideas

Who should attend:

Anyone interested in rethinking how we define and measure success in adult learning.
