Go Higher West Yorkshire (GHWY) CPD programme is funded by the Uni Connect programme and offers a wide range of virtual opportunities for teachers, educators and advisors who support young people aged 11- 18.
The sessions aim to increase understanding of post 16 & 18 progression routes into and through Higher Education, and provide access to key updates and understanding of changes within the Further and Higher Education sector.
