About IEBE

Through our quality awards, IEBE sets and safeguards the standards for pre-19 employability learning.

Since 2009, IEBE has established itself as a key player in the arena of young people’s employability, working with No.10, Cabinet Office, BIS, and DfE, and changing the culture of education business relationships.

It has quality-assured almost 100 specialist providers of employability services for young people and recruited over 500 practitioners committed to becoming qualified education business professionals.

Young people’s employability

With around one million 16-24 year-olds out of work, high quality employability learning for young people has never been more important.

When properly embedded across the curriculum, it helps provide young people with a greater opportunity for successful transition from education to employment.

They benefit most when their learning is mediated by practitioners and organisations operating to the highest professional standards.

IEBE champions the need for quality practice and provision.
