The Young People’s Learning Agency (YPLA) is a Non-Departmental Public Body sponsored by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). It supports the delivery of education and training to young people in England.
The YPLA champions young people by
- providing financial support to young learners
- funding Academies for all their provision
- supporting Local authorities in fulfilling their new duties for commissioning education and training for all 16-19 year old learners in England.
The YPLA also funds and manages the performance of Academies and provides direct support for learners, in particular the Education Maintenance Allowance, for people aged between 16 and 19. |
The Skills Funding Agency is an agency of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS).
Our job is to fund and regulate adult FE and skills training in England. We are part of a network of organisations in the country who commission, manage and market training for adults.
Our mission is to ensure that people and businesses can access the skills training they need to succeed in playing their part in society and in growing England’s economy. We do this in the context of policy set by BIS and informed by the needs of businesses, communities and regions, and sector and industry bodies.
We employ around 1,200 staff at our head office in Coventry and in 21 offices around England
