Partners

learndirect works with a range of organisations at national, regional and local level, all of whom share a mission to help people progress and move into work.  Our key stakeholders include funding bodies, referral partners, Government Departments, key delivery agencies, and representative bodies.

Here are some of the organisations we work with and how we work together.

Skills Funding Agency (SFA)

The Skills Funding Agency is learndirect's primary funding body. We work with Regional SFA to ensure good coverage of learning provision across regions and to ensure our contractual targets are met.

Jobcentre Plus (JCP)

JCP is learndirect’s largest referral partner with more than 50,000 customers referred to us each year. We work with local and district JCP to identify how we can help support more people get the skills they need to move into sustainable employment, particularly during the current economic climate.

Association of Employment and Learning Providers

learndirect is AELP’s largest member.  We work jointly to lobby on areas of mutual interest.            

Regional and local partners

We build relationships with partners such as Local Enterprise Partnerships and Local Authorities to ensure we are supporting the priorities of individuals, employers and communities at a regional and local level.
