Funded by the European Social Fund (ESF), the Reach Higher contract (£3.5m) strives to widen participation in higher level skills through a
programme of activities. These are co-designed by employers that will attract
and engage new participants onto higher level courses. This will enable more
qualified individuals who can fill the skills gaps in employment in key sectors

Reach Higher will increase skill levels, encourage progression in employment and ultimately supporting economic growth within the Leeds City Region as a result of improved productivity.
Reach Higher is delivered alongside partner colleges, universities and private providers on the following:
