Who are AELP?

The Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP) nationally represents the interests of 860+ organisations delivering apprenticeships, employability support and other vocational learning.

We lobby on behalf of our members to Government departments and agencies involved in funded skills and back to work programmes. Members of the Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP) support employers in the delivery of over 75% of apprenticeships in England and they deliver other publicly funded skills and employment programmes. The majority of AELP’s 860+ members are independent private, not-for-profit and voluntary sector training and employment services organisations. Employers, universities, FE colleges, schools and end point assessment organisations are also joining AELP in increasing numbers.
