Specialist knowledge from employer organisations like yours plays a critical role in ensuring skills solutions are fit for the future, which benefits both the learner experience and the impact their development has on your business. There are many ways you can get involved, including:
- Support with qualification development and validation
- Become a member of the Employer Industry Board (EIB)
- Associate roles, such as examiners, moderators, independent end-point assessors, external quality assurers and external assessors
Work with us to ensure the skills individuals are learning are relevant to your industry and the needs of your business.
We were granted a Royal Charter by Queen Victoria in 1900 which means we not only act in the public interest, always, but we’re able to grant royal recognition to excellence in training through the Princess Royal Training Awards (PRTAs).
Our growing employer and training provider alumni feel the benefits of the awards in many ways, not least the prestigious recognition, but also the impact this brings to their organisation.
From stronger ROI evidencing to improved engagement in learning across the business, to the valuable sharing of best practice and innovation across the alumni network.
Our purpose at City & Guilds has never changed, to help people, organisations and economies develop their skills for growth. We actively agitate for change across the skills education landscape, by engaging with and lobbying government and amplifying the voices of the learners, employers and educators we collaborate and partner with.
Future skills coalition
In 2022 we founded the Future Skills Coalition with The Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP) and The Association of Colleges (AOC), to drive a sustained model for future skills development and workforce investment.
City & Guilds Foundation
We amplify our purpose, goals and activities even further through the City & Guilds Foundation which focused specifically on high-impact social investment, recognition and advocacy programmes. By removing barriers to training and employment, celebrating where best practice is happening, and advocating for jobs for the future, the Foundation aims to innovate, celebrate and evaluate opportunities that make a real difference in people’s lives, supporting everyone to succeed, no matter who they are or where they come from.
