Britain’s training providers are urging ministers from different government departments to formulate a single unified policy to respond more effectively to growing unemployment and the NEET issue.
The Association of Learning Providers (ALP) has successfully encouraged an Essex training company, TheLightBulb Limited, to become its 500th member.
In response to Skills Minister, John Hayes’, challenge to ALP to tell him what should be done to maintain high quality performance within the FE system during times of financial restrictions, he was sent a brief paper outlining half a dozen critical issues to be considered.
Why become a member?
