IEP Professional Excellence Awards
The Institute of Employability Professionals is a not-for-profit organisation whose aim is to improve lives for all in society. They are an international membership organisation for employability professionals – the people who support others gain work, progress in work, and retain work. Their vision is ‘Employability Professionals Everywhere Are The Best They Can Be’
IEP represent over 11,000 members worldwide who are dedicated to enhancing the employability prospects of those who are most disadvantaged in society such as those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial struggles, homelessness, and lone parenthood – people who are farthest away from the job market. Their members work to identify people’s aspirations and education and employment goals, help them to overcome challenges and equip them with the skills, knowledge, and resources that they need to improve their employability opportunities that will lead to fulfilling and sustainable jobs.
Better Connect are a member of the IEP and are proud to announce we have been recognised with an award for our commitment to advancing professional development and achieving excellence within the Employability Sector. We are now one of 22 organisations in the UK that have been recognised with this achievement.
It has been an exciting year for Better Connect as last year our Multiply Partnership with North Yorkshire Council also received awards for ‘ Outstanding Practice FE and Skills’ and Quality Collaboration’ by The Quality Professionals Awards
