We are excited to announce that the Institute of Employability Professionals (IEP) is recognising outstanding organisations with the prestigious IEP Professional Excellence Award. This award recognises organisations that demonstrate exceptional commitment to advancing professional development and striving for excellence within the employability sector.
The IEP Professional Excellence Award highlights organisations’ dedication to empowering their practitioners and promoting a culture of continuous improvement. The award is categorised into three levels:
- Bronze: Recognises organisations that empower practitioners through the completion of Essential Employability Learning and who actively promote IEP resources, opportunities, and CPD activities to their workforce.
- Silver: Honours organisations that promote a culture of ongoing improvement, demonstrated through engaging with employees to complete professional qualifications, attend IEP Basecamp and networking events, and champion IEP Membership and Learning.
- Gold: Celebrates organisations with who have a strong commitment to professional growth, and have a mix of engaged Members, Member Ambassadors, and active Fellows who participate in IEP Evaluations and contribute to IEP seminars or events.
Award recipients will receive a digital badge for use in communications, showcasing their status as leaders in professional excellence. Additionally, a distinguished wall plaque will be provided, with arrangements for its presentation and a photo opportunity.
The Professional Excellence Award is not just a reflection of current achievements but also an encouragement for all organisations to continue striving for the next level of recognition. Whether moving from Bronze to Silver or Silver to Gold, the IEP is here to support the sector in its journey towards even greater professional excellence. Our membership resources, accredited learning, and qualifications are designed to help organisations take the next step and showcase their dedication to continuous improvement.
Next Steps
We will soon be reaching out to those organisations that have been recognised as our first recipients. Our team will share the exciting news, provide digital badges and usage guidelines, confirm the most suitable contacts for plaque presentations, and explore ways to continue supporting their journey towards sustained excellence. Additionally, we will continue to recognise more organisations as they go through the evaluation process, encouraging everyone to strive for higher levels of professional excellence.
We look forward to celebrating the ongoing success of all award recipients and shaping the future of the employability sector together. Keep an eye out for your award letters and join us in striving for excellence!
