Bristol - A Learning City

Subscribers may be interested in learning city development in the city of Bristol in the West of England. 'Bristol: A Learning City', has been developed by organisations and businesses across the City and administered by Bristol City Council.  It follows a Mayor's Commission for Education and Skills, chaired by Ron Ritchie, which aimed to:

... strengthen the link between sustainable employment opportunities in our highly-skilled, knowledge economy, and the education and training our young people receive, whether at school, college or university.

A Founders Group took the recommendations of the Commission and has created the Learning City initiative, to be launched in Spring 2015.
