The Essex Provider Network has been set up with the specific aim of providing a single voice for all Essex based learning and training providers including Further Education Colleges with a focus on work-based learning. There are a significant number of provider networks across the country and with changes within the sector, developments within the LEPs and an on-going large percentage of skills based funded provision being delivered by providers from outside of the region, we believe that there has never been a more important time for Essex based providers to work together collaboratively, in building a strong and sustainable network.
