Gmlpn

Established in 2006 the Greater Manchester Learning Provider Network (GMLPN) is a network of over 100 independent training providers, colleges of further education, schools and universities. We work alongside our key partners; the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, New Economy, Job Centre Plus and local authorities to achieve an ever closer alignment between the needs of employers, individuals, communities and the suppliers of skills. We are an inclusive network, with membership available to organisations who operate in Greater Manchester which includes independent training providers, general FE Colleges and employers. The Network’s ambition is to secure a more effective alignment of the skills system to support Greater Manchester’s economic opportunities, as well as the demands and needs of employers, individuals and communities. In achieving this ambition we are committed to working alongside colleges and skills providers to raise the overall capacity, capability and responsiveness of the skills system in GM. By doing this we aim to enhance the positive contribution which skills are making to individuals, businesses and the wider economy.
