Educ8 Group, established in 2004, has become a beacon of lifelong learning and professional growth in Wales and England. Offering over 50 apprenticeship routes to around 1,000 businesses, it serves approximately 3,000 learners. With a diverse array of programmes ranging from health and social care to digital, the organisation continually expands its offerings through strategic acquisitions, including ISA Training, Haddon Training, and Aspire 2Be.

Educ8’s commitment to its people shines through its values-first approach. It understands the value of the right environment, rewards and opportunities for its people, and this understanding is reflected in its employee engagement initiatives such as Gr8 awards, Rejuven8 time, and Appreci8 days. A significant milestone in the company’s history is the establishment of an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) scheme in 2022, granting the majority of company shares to its staff.

The company’s leadership promotes open and transparent communication, regularly updating staff on business objectives and performance through 'All Hands' meetings and monthly updates. New hires are welcomed by the directors, while existing employees engage in monthly performance meetings and team self-assessment days. The EOT committee further empowers staff to influence company objectives and initiatives.

Underpinning everything Educ8 does are its core values, carried forward by its Senior Management Team (SMT). The values guide everything from recruitment to business decision-making and are continuously reinforced through performance meetings and recognitions. The SMT's commitment to embodying and promoting these values fosters a culture of positive challenge and celebration across the organisation.
