As Headline Employability Partners for the Quality Professional Awards for the second year running, the IEP is proud to champion those organisations and individuals who are raising the bar across the Employability and FE sectors.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to celebrate the brilliant individuals, teams and initiatives nominated for #QPA25. With over 500 incredible nominations, the shortlist reflects just how high the standard of quality is across our field.
IEP Group CEO Scott Parkin FIEP, who featured as a judge at QPA 2024, said that only a select few make it to the final – and every one of them deserves a massive congratulations.
“At the IEP, we are proud to highlight and support the individuals and teams whose dedication to quality drives meaningful impact across further education and employability. These awards shine a well-deserved spotlight on exceptional professionals whose behind-the-scenes work shapes brighter futures for learners and job seekers alike. Your commitment is inspiring – and today, we celebrate you.”
Please join us in applauding the 2025 Quality Professional Awards Finalists for Further Education and Employability.
The IEP is excited to celebrate the achievements of these gamechangers in quality – and to continue championing excellence across the employability profession.
Founded by Mesma and hosted for the first time in June 2024, the Quality Professional Awards saw 200 people across the education and employability sectors come together to celebrate the professionals who work diligently behind the scenes. This year promises even more with 2 new awards categories – Quality Champion and Compliance Leader – a larger venue and more entertainment.
Good luck to all the finalists!
