Projects and Initiatives
We have played a strategic and results-driven role across a wide portfolio of high-impact projects, supporting our clients to achieve key outcomes in apprenticeships, T Levels, and workforce development. Our work is designed to help clients not only meet but exceed their contractual requirements, improving quality, increasing learner engagement, and unlocking sustainable income growth.
From enhancing employer engagement to designing and delivering targeted, business-focused events, we bring deep insight and practical expertise that drives measurable impact. Our tailored support has enabled partners to improve performance, expand provision, and strengthen their position within a highly competitive skills and training market.
We have worked across a range of government and Mayor of London initiatives, contributing as strategic advisors and delivery partners. This includes involvement in Skills Academies, LSIP funded projects, and Green Skills programmes, alongside shaping the development of IoT Kite Marks and helping providers align with national priorities and raise their strategic profile.
A key part of our work involves supporting clients in serving their communities more effectively, including establishing employer advisory boards, aligning curriculum with local labour market needs, and increasing employer-led opportunities. We also represent our partners at external events, policy roundtables, and industry forums to champion their work and position them as leaders in the sector.
In addition, we provide expert support in Ofsted readiness and compliance, working closely with providers to develop robust quality assurance frameworks, strengthen operational delivery, and secure successful inspection outcomes.
Our collaborative and commercial approach ensures that our clients are not only compliant but also competitive — with the tools, networks, and strategies to grow their income, build long-term employer relationships, and lead the way in delivering high-quality, future-focused education and skills.
