Expressions of interest (EOI) for ACFE Board Family Learning Partnerships 2024 program

The ACFE Board is seeking expressions of interest from Learn Local providers (LLPs) interested in developing and implementing a Family Learning Partnerships (FLP) project. LLPs that have demonstrated capacity or interest in fostering family learning opportunities are encouraged to apply.

The FLP program assists families to overcome barriers to participation in education and training. The program provides opportunities for learners, with childcare responsibilities, to engage in positive learning experiences and to gain the confidence and skills needed to take their next steps in education or employment.

Furthermore, it fosters collaborative partnerships between participating LLPs, community-based services and other educational and employment organisations to grow effective, long-term and sustainable models that can be shared with the sector.

Successful organisations will receive a grant of $35,000 per annum over 2 years to support project implementation and delivery.

• have a pre-accredited training delivery contract for 2024.
