2024: A year in review
As we step into 2025, we’ve taken time to reflect on the highlights that made 2024 such a remarkable year for the Mindful Education team. From travelling across the UK, catching up with our delivery partners, running workshops on key industry topics, and creating innovative new course content full of imagination, this year was packed with milestones worth celebrating.
Course launches and partnerships
After our 2024 Autumn launch season, we were thrilled to surpass a significant milestone: over 20,000 learners since Mindful Education was founded in 2015.
Some of these new cohorts were with brand new partners: LMP Education, Sunderland College and Integer Training. We are looking forward to working with all of our partners to see what the future has in store for the growth of blended learning in the professional development space.
Catching up with our partners
Engaging and forming supportive, strategic relationships with our delivery partners is key to how we operate, and attending key sector events provides valuable opportunities to connect in person. In February, we attended the Annual Apprenticeship Conference in Birmingham where we were delighted to run a workshop: Delivering professional apprenticeships in the public and third sector. You can catch-up on our published insights into this topic through our latest thought-leadership piece: Transforming the public and third sectors: the power of professional apprenticeships.
In November we attended the AoC Annual Conference for the ninth consecutive year. We took the opportunity to showcase our Partner Hub – our one-stop-shop for college teams to access and download information about our courses, our partnership and the services we offer. The Partner Hub is also the home of our Curriculum Builder tool, which contains a wealth of information on our courses and apprenticeships including pricing information, funding options and recommended delivery models and infill points.
During the conference, we were joined by a panel of accessibility experts to run a workshop: Tech-powered inclusion: Widening participation and increasing accessibility for learners. We will be publishing more insights on this topic in the coming months.
Throughout the year, we were also delighted to join our partner colleges at award ceremonies to celebrate learner excellence. We look forward to sponsoring more events in the year ahead.
Behind-the-scenes
Our production and creative teams completed all work on Unit 207 of our business administration course and wrapped up filming for all course content. We are excited to debut this new content throughout 2025.
We also collaborated with teams from Activate Learning, the National Association of Licensed Paralegals (NALP), Trafford and Stockport College Group and Greater Manchester Mental Health Foundation Trust to film case studies. Thank you to everyone involved in making these stories come to life!
In 2024, our digital team introduced new tools and resources to improve user experience for both our learners and partner teams. The addition of our VLE Login Finder means that learners now have a much easier way to retrieve misplaced login details for their Virtual Learning Environment. Meanwhile, for partners, new resources on marketing mean that they now have access to a larger range of resources to help their teams promote Online and On campus courses.
We want to extend our thanks to our partners, learners and team for their continued support. We’re excited for what 2025 has in store, here’s to another year of collaboration, innovation and growth!
The Mindful Education marketing team works closely with our partners to help them promote Online and On Campus courses and apprenticeships.
