Educ8 Group has grown into a leading provider of lifelong learning and professional development in the UK. The organisation works with around 1,000 businesses and supports approximately 3,000 learners each year, offering more than 50 apprenticeship pathways, alongside a wide range of other training programmes. These include ‘Elev8’ (a vocational programme for schools), as well as micro-credentials and short courses. Its portfolio spans sectors including business, digital, health and social care, equine and animal care, and hair and beauty. Through the strategic acquisition of ISA Training, Haddon Training, and Aspire 2Be, Educ8 Group continues to broaden its reach and impact.

At the heart of Educ8 is a values-driven culture that prioritises its people. The Group recognises that creating the right environment, opportunities, and rewards is key to success. This commitment is reflected in initiatives such as Friday Rejuven8 time, a Westfield Health package, and Appreci8 days. With the creation of an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) in 2022, staff became the majority shareholders in the business and have a genuine voice and stake in the company.

Open and transparent communication underpins the company’s leadership approach. Staff are regularly updated on performance and strategy through all hands meetings and monthly briefings. New starters are personally welcomed by directors, while ongoing dialogue is maintained through monthly performance meetings. The EOT Committee further empowers employees.

Guided by the Senior Management Team, Educ8’s core values are embedded in every aspect of the organisation - from recruitment and training, to leadership and recognition.
