About the Leonardo Programme
The Leonardo programme supports the development of skills and training. It funds work placements for trainees, workers and staff, and supports European projects to discuss common issues or develop training materials, courses and frameworks.
The programme is open to all UK organisations involved in work-based education and training and can help you to build a skilled workforce. Projects involve working with European partners and offer a great experience for staff and learners, and long-term organisational benefits.
Leonardo is part of the European Commission's Lifelong Learning Programme. At ECOTEC we are the UK National Agency for the Leonardo programme. This means that we manage the Leonardo grants available to UK organisations and individuals.

About the Lifelong Learning Programme
The Lifelong Learning Programme is a European funding programme, which supports education and training across Europe. It is made up of several different programmes covering the whole spectrum of lifelong learning. At ECOTEC we are the UK National Agency for Leonardo and another two of these programmes:
- The Grundtvig programme is a passport to partnerships and training opportunities for adult education organisations, teachers and learners. Adult educators can be involved in structured courses, conferences and even job shadowing. Organisations can be part of exciting partnerships and projects to share innovation and good practice in adult learning.
- The Transversal programme supports education and training organisations in the areas of policy, languages, ICT and dissemination. ECOTEC is responsible for a programme of Study Visits designed to share best practice in education across Europe.
The British Council is the UK National Agency for the Comenius (schools) and Erasmus (higher education) programmes. Our joint website www.lifelonglearningprogramme.org.uk has information on all the LLP programmes.
