Welcome to the
Association of Employment and Learning Providers
Our goal is to influence the education, skills and employment agenda to secure:
- An integrated employment and skills strategy meeting employer and individual needs
- A 14-19 learning curriculum giving equal weight to the vocational and academic
- Opportunities for lifelong learning and sustainable employment for all
- A government-supported market open to all providers offering high-quality learning
