What is Strategic Partner Plan?

The Journey Strategic Partner Plan lets eligible UK apprenticeship providers access Journey Pro with £0 platform fee through a protected tech training partnership. Journey/Cherith supports agreed tech and digital programmes you do not currently deliver, with permission-based introductions only. Your employers remain yours and your existing delivery areas stay protected.

The challenge

Some providers have strong employer relationships but do not currently deliver tech apprenticeships or specialist digital programmes. Journey/Cherith can become your protected tech training partner for agreed programmes you do not currently deliver.

What Journey does

You keep your employer relationships. We only support agreed tech training opportunities with your permission. Your existing delivery areas remain protected. In return, eligible providers can access Journey Pro with £0 platform fee.

Why it matters to providers

Specialist tech and digital delivery is hard to build internally. A protected partnership lets you serve more employer demand while keeping control of your accounts.

What is included

  • Journey Pro free
  • Protected scope
  • Tech programmes only
  • Permission-based introductions
  • No unauthorised outreach
  • No cross-selling outside agreed scope
  • Specialist tech delivery capability
  • Provider keeps employer relationship

Eligible providers can access Journey Pro with £0 platform fee through a protected tech training partnership for agreed programmes they do not currently deliver.

Strategic Partner access is subject to eligibility, agreed training scope, data processing terms and a partner agreement. Journey will not use platform data for unauthorised employer outreach.

The provider outcome

Providers serve more employer demand for tech and digital programmes, keep their employer relationships, and access Journey Pro at £0 platform fee.

How the partnership is structured

The Strategic Partner Plan is for providers with strong employer relationships who do not currently deliver tech or specialist digital programmes. Journey/Cherith becomes your protected tech training partner for agreed programmes only: introductions are permission-based, your existing delivery areas stay protected, and there is no cross-selling outside the agreed scope.

In return, eligible providers access Journey Pro with £0 platform fee. Access is subject to eligibility, an agreed training scope, data processing terms and a partner agreement, and platform data is never used for unauthorised employer outreach — so you serve more employer demand while keeping control of your accounts.

Funding-safe and audit-ready by design

Built so your data, your funding and your audit trail hold up

Hard tenant isolation

Every record is scoped to your organisation on each read and write — one provider can never see another's data.

Append-only audit log

Every state change is recorded against the real person who made it, so the history stands up at audit.

Versioned DfE rule packs

Funding is computed server-side against the right year for each start date — 2024/25 and 2025/26, and built to adopt the 2026/27 pack now published by the DWP.

Governed AI

AI is metered per tenant, prompts are scrubbed of learner PII and outputs are validated, falling back gracefully.

ISO 27001 & Cyber Essentials

Built and operated by a UK company to externally-audited information-security standards.

Your data and employers stay yours

No lock-in: export your data whenever you like, and your employer relationships always remain yours.
