Worker's Educational Association

Founded in 1903, the Workers’ Educational Association is a democratic organisation providing lifelong learning opportunities to adults. The WEA takes education to where it is needed most – in local communities, particularly where educational disadvantage is prevalent. Many of our courses are run in partnership with local community groups, charities and other organisations, often for members, users or clients of those organisations. All our educational provision is developed with this in mind. Our courses are organised around four themes – employability, health & wellbeing, community engagement and cultural studies. In all cases, social purpose is a core component. The organisation is undertaking an organisation-wide business transformation programme which will enable it to become “An effective, efficient and sustainable organisation delivering excellent adult education into the future.” The OnP Associate will assist with the successful running of the Programme in a Programme Management Office or Project Support capacity and also get exposure to a variety of business issues that are being addressed by projects within the programme, including those associated with HR & People Management, Management Information, Digital Strategy, Business Planning, Finance, Property Strategy, amongst others.
