Maximus - Community Partnership Network (CPN)
Working in Partnership to Deliver Person-Centred Pathways to Employment
At Virtual College, collaboration is central to how we deliver meaningful outcomes for learners and jobseekers. As a committed partner within the Community Partnership Network (CPN), we are proud to work alongside a diverse group of UK providers and Maximus to create tailored, person-centred journeys that support sustainable employment.
A Shared Vision for Better Outcomes
The CPN is built on a simple but powerful principle: no two customers are the same, and neither should be their route into employment. By bringing together specialist providers with complementary expertise, the network enables a holistic approach that removes duplication, strengthens support, and responds more effectively to individual needs.
Our participation in the CPN reflects Virtual College’s long-standing commitment to inclusive education, digital learning, and workforce development that genuinely changes lives.
Our Commitment as a CPN Partner
As part of the Community Partnership Network, Virtual College works in a spirit of openness, trust, and collaboration. Our commitments include:
- Active collaboration – regularly participating in CPN meetings to explore opportunities, share insight, and contribute to future programme and bid development.
- Sharing expertise – supporting other partners with our specialist knowledge in digital learning, employability, and skills development.
- Co-design and innovation – contributing to the joint design of services and partnership initiatives that better meet customer needs.
- Transparency and respect – providing open, honest feedback on current programmes and working respectfully with all network members.
- Joined-up support – sharing appropriate customer data (excluding confidential or proprietary information) to ensure seamless support and avoid duplication of services.
This collaborative approach allows us to deliver more integrated and effective support, while continuously improving the quality of provision across the network.
Strong Partnership with Maximus
The success of the CPN is underpinned by a close working relationship with Maximus. Through the partnership, Virtual College benefits from shared insights, including disability confidence awareness, access to labour market intelligence, and regular updates on network developments.
Equally important is the two-way flow of feedback. By sharing learning and outcomes with Maximus, we help inform commissioners and contribute to the future shaping of programmes—ensuring services remain relevant, responsive, and impactful.

For Virtual College, being part of the CPN is not just about partnership—it is about shared accountability for outcomes and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Looking Ahead
As the employment and skills landscape continues to evolve, collaboration will be more important than ever. Virtual College remains fully committed to the Community Partnership Network and to working alongside Maximus and fellow providers to deliver innovative, inclusive, and effective solutions that support people into sustainable employment.
Together, we are building pathways that work—because when partnerships are strong, outcomes are stronger.
