nextstep represents all the nextstep providers in the marketing. HACE would be more than welcome to support the event. Members of the West London IAG Steering Partnership were contacted and asked if they would support the programme and this is in the minutes of the last meeting. The careers events are about entry to all levels of Education and Entry to HE, and HE is an integral part as it is at the core of the LLN mission. The advisors supporting the events attended a HE update meeting at TVU and another meeting can be arranged for your team. I will be in contact to discuss this in more detail with you.

Hi
We at HACE would like to offer to help out at the events in Ealing, Hounslow and Hillington. I note from your leaflet that our organisation was not mentioned as a source of advice, being a ‘Next Step’ provider and a member of the WLLN. We have an awareness of entry into HE, being a provider of L2, L3 and Access and Pre-access courses to HE.
