Empowering Educators to Deliver Outstanding Employability Support
The Institute of Employability Professionals (IEP) is the only professional institute dedicated to those who support people to get into work, stay in work, and progress in work. That includes tutors, teachers, advisers, support workers, and employability professionals working across further education, adult learning, community outreach, and more.
Our mission is to raise standards, improve outcomes, and promote excellence in employability support through professional recognition, peer learning, CPD, mentoring, and high-quality training.
We believe that employability professionals everywhere should be the best they can be. Our members gain access to a host of membership benefits including accredited learning, exclusive events, the IEP Journal, and the Centre for Employability Excellence resources.
