The role of teachers, senior leadership teams and advisors is crucial in supporting students and potential students to access Higher Education. Whether supporting someone by raising attainment, helping them to make informed choices, or by providing practical information and advice, at Go Higher West Yorkshire we have resources which can help.
The information and links below have been compiled to assist you to help support learners’ attainment and aspirations, inform their choices about courses and careers, and guide them through the application process on their journey to Higher Education. This includes the OfS Uni Connect Programme Outreach Hub – helping schools and colleges access the higher education outreach they need.
The journey started in schools, colleges and universities, doesn’t end at graduation.
Exposure to the world of work is key to developing employability skills and securing a job.
That’s why we work collaboratively with employers and industry experts, supporting our partners to equip their students for the changing economy.
Go Higher West Yorkshire: reducing inequalities in access to, success in and progression from Higher Education.
In accordance with recent government advice, Go Higher West Yorkshire has decided that our physical events and activities scheduled to take place between now and the end of May will be postponed or delivery moved online where possible. We are looking into alternative methods of achieving activity outcomes, more details will be published when they are available.
Whilst we are disappointed to be postponing physical events, the welfare of students, staff and educational professionals is our top priority. In the meantime, we are keen to provide additional support wherever possible and we have a large number of online resources for students, educational staff and parents/carers which are available on our website and will be across our social media channels in the near future; please visit Supporting someone into Higher Education to find out more.
The GHWY Team is working from home during this period so please don’t hesitate to get in touch via ghwy@leeds.ac.uk.
We hope you all stay safe and well during this unusual time.
Best wishes,
Go Higher West Yorkshire
