A4e
A4e continues to contribute to the international debate on ways of making public service delivery more effective at less cost as governments around the world are forced to tighten their belts. In the UK, it has been discussing ideas with frontbenchers at Westminster on how publicly funded training could be made more responsive to the needs of employers and learners in the midst of a recession. rgmr advises A4e on its public affairs in relation to employment and skills programmes.
Association of Learning Providers
The Association of Learning Providers has successfully lobbied all of the main political parties to continue supporting apprenticeships as the UK's flagship skills programme when other programmes are being cut. It also led a campaign which secured amendment to the Apprenticeships Act 2009 that now requires English secondary schools to inform all students about apprenticeships as a post-GCSE option. rgmr handles ALP's media relations and advises it on its lobbying activities. The association receives regular coverage in the education and training sector press.
