Our response
AEB allocations for 2021-22 are published on the GLA website.
The GLA completed an open and competitive grant award process for the AEB in February 2021. This was open to all UK registered learning providers located in London and the London ‘fringe’ to apply for funding.
Successful bidders were awarded funding for two years from the start of the 2021-22 academic year (August 2021). Historic details of this funding opportunity can be found on the GLA website.
If other funding streams become available to the Mayor in future years, then details will be
available on the GLA website and widely communicated amongst our stakeholders.
The Mayor’s Skills and Employment Unit delivers programmes across various funding streams, each of which are set out below:
