Welcome to Lancashire Education Business Partnership

As a registered charity, we build bridges between education and business communities and work with over 20,000 businesses and over 450 schools/colleges and educational establishments across Lancashire. Together we help young people make informed choices about their future.

As the largest out of the 120 Education Business Partnerships in the country, we create exciting career development opportunities for over 43,000 young people each year through our programmes and our services.

Earlier in 2009 we were one of the first organisations in the country to achieve the Award for Education Business Excellence which recognises the scope and scale of all our organisation’s activities are underpinned by a commitment to excellence.

The Award is facilitated by the Institute for Education Business Excellence and accredits organisations to the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) National Standard for Education Business Partnership Organisations (May 2008). It recognises the high standards achieved by Lancashire Education Business Partnership in all our work connecting education and the world of work for the benefit of young people in the area.

In order to ensure that the needs of education and the economy are being met our work-related learning delivery team recently launched a search engine which enables teachers and educationalists in all Key Stage areas to search programmes that help them meet aspects of Curriculum, Every Child Matters, 9 elements of Work-Related Learning and Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills. http://www.lebp.co.uk/work-related-learning.htm

Our work is fundamental to the development of the region. By investing in the talents of tomorrow’s workforce, we ensure the future potential of the economy where we live and work. Through various projects we also engage with the voluntary and community sector to build capacity and infrastructure to allow the third sector to form partnerships, access training, information and funding as well as supporting them with their business developments.

We hope you enjoy looking around our web-site and find it a useful resource for information.
