Need to say something about LMI (labour market information)
Or other Uni information or updates – need to be section allocated to current news and resources…
I also want to put local college and sixth form information as this ties in with the Baker Clause – Barnet and Southgate, Monoux, Capital City Colleges (Conel, C&I, Westminster Kingsway)
Also need to have something to represent Enfield council and what is happening in the borough regarding enrichment programmes.
