about us
The learn EAST network exists to provide both
stakeholders and prime contract holders, from all strategic
funding streams, with a single point of contact with which
to engage the third sector.
learn EAST also provides its extended membership of
third sector providers with:
- Relevant, up-to-date information about developments
in the learning and skills arena
- Potential sub-contracting opportunities and;
- Support for partnership working both internally and
cross sectors.
In November 2011the learn EAST network lost its funding,
but in view of the value provided by the network the six
county partners, and our key stakeholders, agreed to
continue to hold regular meetings and exchange information
and 'best practice', meeting costs from their own
operational budgets. Click
