Put your organisation forward and earn your place in the UK Learning Power 100 Index — a first-of-its-kind initiative created by Lyceum Education Group, the new parent brand for 11 specialist education businesses across the UK, mainland Europe, Canada, and Australia, in collaboration with FT Longitude, the specialist thought leadership division of the Financial Times.

In a world defined by rapid change, uncertainty, and fast evolving skill needs, the organisations that thrive are those that embed learning at the heart of their culture.

Building on Lyceum Education Group’s launch as a new global brand, who deliver a diverse portfolio of programmes, and already trusted by more than 132,000 learners per year and combining its education expertise with FT Longitude’s world-class research capabilities, the two organisations are collaborating to introduce The UK Learning Power 100 — a new, comprehensive index recognising and celebrating the top 100 learning organisations in the UK.

The UK Learning Power 100 is shining a spotlight on employers who:

  • Build resilient, future-ready workforces
  • Support the UK’s broader skills priorities
  • Set the benchmark for learning excellence

This inaugural research is backed by the expertise of a global education group and the credibility of a trusted news source. Together, FT Longitude and the Lyceum Education Group are showing what it means to redefine workforce capability, organisational agility, and long-term competitiveness through L&D excellence.
