The IEP were thrilled to launch our Elevation Series on Employability Day – three innovative pathways designed to enhance the skills and impact of employability professionals everywhere. These pathways offer targeted opportunities for growth and development, ensuring that you are equipped to meet the evolving needs of jobseekers and employers alike.
- The Practitioner Pathway:
This pathway is designed specifically for frontline employability professionals. It provides essential tools, resources, and training to help practitioners improve their support for jobseekers, ensuring better outcomes and long-term career success. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, this pathway will empower you to make a lasting difference in the lives of those you support. - The Employer Solutions Pathway:
Tailored for those working directly with businesses and employers, this pathway focuses on creating innovative employment solutions. It equips professionals with the skills needed to bridge the gap between employers and jobseekers, fostering sustainable employment partnerships. You’ll gain insights into current market trends and best practice for engaging with employers to drive inclusive and impactful hiring processes. - The Manager Pathway:
Focused on leadership and team management, this pathway supports line managers within the employability sector. It helps develop the skills necessary to lead and support teams effectively while navigating the complexities of the employability landscape. By focusing on strategic leadership, you’ll be better equipped to inspire your teams and drive organisational success.
Why This is a Great Opportunity:
For employability professionals, these pathways offer a structured and meaningful way to develop your career. Whether you’re on the frontline, liaising with employers, or leading teams, each pathway provides tailored resources to strengthen your expertise. With the right tools, you can enhance your impact, build strong employer relationships, and lead with confidence—all while contributing to the broader goal of increasing employment opportunities, supporting more people into sustainable employment and transforming lives.
Flexible Learning Modules for Your Professional Growth
Each ‘module’ within our pathways is designed as a 90-minute, stand-alone session and you can complete them individually based on your interests and professional needs. These modules are linked to one or more eLearning sessions from the IEP Bronze Award in Employability Essentials, which was formerly known as the IEP Sector Induction.
You have the freedom to:
- Pick and choose which modules align with your individual goals or areas of interest.
- Complete the entire set of modules within a specific career pathway, such as the Practitioner Pathway or Employer Solutions Pathway, if you’re looking to specialise in one area.
This flexibility allows you to tailor your learning experience to your personal career development while still gaining comprehensive skills and knowledge in employability services.
This CPD training is also a pathway that leads directly into our professional qualifications, where you can gain deeper knowledge and professional accreditation. While the Elevation Series provides the basic underpinning knowledge of each topic and essential information to enhance your practice, it doesn’t replace our full qualifications. Instead, it serves as a stepping stone, preparing you with a solid foundation and the confidence to pursue more advanced learning opportunities.
