Social Values Statement
The Charitable object of Instructus Group is“to advance education for the public benefit by promoting qualifications, training and skills”.
As an organisation, all our activity is focused on delivering this charitable objective. We have a simple theory that is ‘Developing people, Transforming lives’. We believe that that our activities cultivate a positive economic and social impact for those we serve. This can be as simple as official certification of the hard work that has gone into an Apprenticeship, through to the delivery of an Apprenticeship, building the skills to forge careers and deliver commercial returns for the UK economy. This can be the delivery of Personal Development programmes that help promote inclusion and close gender pay gaps, through to life changing decisions from our participants that benefit businesses, communities, and individuals alike.
Our work can be broken down into 3 key areas:
| Qualifications | Training | Skills |
| Certification of English Apprenticeship Frameworks | Apprenticeships across a wide range of Standards | National Occupational Standards Review Projects |
| Certification of Apprenticeships in Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland | Lean Six Sigma Programmes |
Qualification structure reviews
|
| Certification of Yellow, Green, Black and Master Black Belt practitioners | Management Programmes | Apprenticeship framework review, across the devolved nations |
| Springboard Personal Development Programmes | ||
| Licensing Programmes to grow Springboard trainer base |
These activities have driven significant public benefit and social value in a wide variety of areas, including:
- New apprentices delivering the skills required by UK PLC.
- Individual growth which in turn impacts societal growth.
- Improved business ROI as new skills are deployed to bring commercial benefit.
- Improved productivity.
- Improved equality.
- Simplification and development of the skills systems across the devolved nations.
We have previously invested in creating fully funded bespoke development programmes for less advantaged, and funding Springboard Programmes for specific causes, but the pressures of the pandemic meant that these programmes became untenable. Looking forward to 2025, we are keen to support less advantaged individuals increase access to our core products and services. This will include exploring funding options for Springboard Programmes to offering subsidised places on Springboard Open cohorts.
