Learning and Skills Academy CIC

Who We Are

Real People, Real Opportunities

The Learning and Skills Academy CIC is a community focused organisation based in Northamptonshire that aims to provide real opportunities for people to gain the skills they want, the self-belief they are looking for and the employment opportunities they deserve.

We strive to create a better community for all and do this by working with a range of organisations to access and deliver a number of community based, commercially focused activities

Our Mission

Our society is facing many challenges and people are getting lost along the way. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to develop and grow as a person so that they can find the career and future they are looking for.

The Learning and Skills Academy CIC was founded in 2019 as a route for those in need and a place to come to find out what help and support may be available so that they find employment and a "sense of purpose"

Our Board

The members of our board of directors are leaders who wish to make a significant contribution to our society. Each of them brings a unique set of skills and experience to our organisation.
