Access Academy Training – Evaluating Outreach Work (Session 4)

Access Academy Training

For both policy makers and practitioners alike, evaluation of outreach activities remains key. It helps us understand the nature, and type, of activities that will best facilitate the transition to higher education for those from underrepresented groups. It is not however a straight forward process and brings its own set of challenges. Many practitioners feel in need of continued support to improve their own policies and practice in this area of widening access.

NEON are delighted to continue its programme of four full day training sessions around the evaluation of widening access activities. The events will be facilitated by Dr Graeme Atherton (Director, NEON & Head, AccessHE) and have been designed to cover key elements of the evaluation process.

These training sessions are available to both NEON members and non-members. NEON members can book the whole programme of four sessions at a discounted rate of £499 (38% discount) by completing the booking form at the bottom of this page.
