What we do

We aim to promote employability and social inclusion for individuals and competitiveness for companies by:

• stimulating demand for lifelong learning by businesses and individuals
• providing high quality information and advisory services founded on an extensive national learning opportunities database
• improving access through the development and support of a network of over 500 learndirect scotland branded learning centres
• developing capacity by providing a range of services to assist existing learning providers in addressing and growing the changing learning market.

learndirect scotland is not a provider of learning but a broker, seeking to engage people and businesses in learning and to connect them with the learning that best suits their needs. 

The learning team is responsible for enhancing learner support services, commissioning learning materials and developing a national network of learner-focused learndirect scotland learning centres.
