What we do
LEAD strategically operates across three pivotal areas, meticulously cultivating essential knowledge and insights. This wealth of understanding serves as the foundation for actionable initiatives and guidance. Our commitment extends to active engagement, fostering collaboration not only within the broader education and training community but also among the SPECIALISED cohort of projects.
LeADS will act across three key areas within which it will develop key knowledge and insights that will be translated into actions and guidance through active engagement with the broader education and training community and the SPECIALISED cohort of projects.
