“The acquisition of new knowledge, skills, attitudes and values is the only guarantee that old, dysfunctional habits are replaced by new ways of responding and managing change in the 21st century knowledge-based economy and society.”
- Dr. Ron Faris

The Lighthouse Learning Network (LLN) is a collaboration of community organizations on the Sunshine Coast whose mandate is to provide support for and to facilitate learning opportunities coast-wide  that serve learners wishing to use an informal or nonformal setting and approach.

LLN is designed to help improve access to learning opportunities for individuals and groups, many of whom might be facing barriers to participation in the knowledge-based economy, by providing opportunities for learning closer to home. A number of short-term, part-time training programs have been and are being developed to provide learners with hands-on experiences, building essential skills for settings in the workplace and the community.

At no cost to participants, LLN provides access to training in computer skills to people of all ages. It enhances access to computers by supporting the refurbishing and redistribution of second-hand systems at low- or no cost to low-income learners and by providing community internet access points at various locations along the Coast.

LLN is supported by funding from the federal government, through Human Resources Development Canada, and from local partners.
