Established in 2004, Educ8 Training Group provides creative and innovative learning for all, offering more than 50 apprenticeship routes and levels to approximately 1,000 businesses and 3,000 learners across Wales and England.

Passionate about lifelong learning and helping businesses to grow, Educ8 delivers fully funded apprenticeships, training, and work-based learning opportunities, working with organisations of all sizes and across all sectors.?Apprenticeships include health and social care, childcare, advice and guidance, leadership and management, business, and energy and carbon management.

Having acquired a number of specialist companies over the years, including ISA Training, Haddon Training, and Aspire 2Be, the Group is now able to offer an even wider range of education and training opportunities, such as hairdressing, equine and animal care, and digital.

Educ8’s people are its greatest asset and while the organisation has evolved over time, one area that has remained constant is a strong, values-first approach. It fully understands the importance of providing the right environment, rewards, and opportunities for its people.

The senior team continually strives to improve their offering, developing initiatives that engage and reward staff, such as regular ‘Gr8’ awards, ‘Rejuven8’ time and ‘Appreci8’ days. In 2022, the company successfully launched an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) scheme, making its staff majority shareholders in the business.
