In the summer of 2011 the UK government rolled out their Work Programme offer aiming to help people back into employment. The aim of the programme is to provide the mechanism for an individually tailored provision to meet the needs of each customer.

With the changing nature of the UK economy, we at SFEDI Awards, see a strong positioning for entrepreneurs and business support professionals. Our qualifications support this and help individuals gain the knowledge and skills required and also offer a way of proving these skills within the job market using the widely recognised SFEDI Awards brand.

To support this, the Skills Funding Agency has made SFEDI Awards qualifications available for public funding and actively encourage linkage between both Work Programme and Skills Funding Agency providers. Please see our Skills Funding Agency pages for further information regarding both qualification and unit funding opportunities.

The qualifications are not only for your Work Programme customers, why not look at the development needs of your delivery staff and how this could support staff growth and future tendering opportunities. Our Business Support suite of qualifications may be able to support you with this. Please contact our Customer Service Team for further details on customerservices@sfediawards.com
