Promoting social mobility by creating pathways to the professions and vocational careers: the role of progression agreements. A literature synthesis of the WASRS national programmes archive

This report brings together material related to Lifelong Learning Network (LLN) progression agreements (PAs) and to a lesser extent the Aimhigher progression framework and considers their role and potential impact on social mobility.

This literature synthesis is one of six commissioned by the Higher Education Academy. They bring together the central themes in the research and practice legacy of the Aimhigher Lifelong learning Action on Access and What Works? programmes.

The syntheses draw on the literature in the Widening Access Student Retention and Success (WASRS) archive on a number of publications produced by the HEFCE and on some external sources.
