step into learning
Launceston
V Learning Network is a charitable company originally set up in 2001 as the lead
of a consortium created to deliver adult and young people mainstream funded
education. The consortium was made up of independent training providers in the
Third Sector throughout Devon and Cornwall. In August 2021, due to some changes
in funding, the nature and focus of the company shifted slightly. We are used to
working in a proactive and agile way so have been able to adapt, evolve and
innovate, and continue to do so.
To fit the growing needs of the business and to strengthen our brand identity,
we have changed the company name to V Learning Network trading as Step into
Learning – Step Into Learning will be the sole, public facing name used across
all our touchpoints going forwards. We still offer young people mainstream
funded education and we currently work with three charities and Community
Interest Groups (The Outdoor Place, Transferable Skills Training, Cornwall
Neighbourhoods for Change), enabling them to deliver high quality training by
providing sustainable funding. The funding allows our partners to offer a range
of training opportunities and deliver quality programmes within Cornwall.
Step Into Learning also delivers quality, in-house training, projects and
services via its own training division. Step Into Learning is based in
Launceston, Cornwall, however, our reach extends much further. We offer training
across Devon and Cornwall and have the scope to cover any geographical location
due to our flexible delivery – face to face, blended learning (mix of face to
face and online) and online.
Step Into Learning specialise in working with learners looking to open up new
career pathways, or those looking to get back into work.
We are committed to giving back to our local community:
* SILC is our counselling service providing free, confidential counselling for
the Launceston community.
* Our community larder for Launceston opened in May 2022. The focus of the
community larder is reducing food waste and giving local people access to
nutritious food that would otherwise go to waste.
