Our work spans:
Our work spans the full skills and employment journey, from entry-level access into work through to intermediate progression and higher and degree-level apprenticeship pathways. We also support the design and delivery of inclusive workforce systems and programmes, with a strong focus on accessible learning design that enables equitable participation and long-term progression.
Our Expertise
Our expertise sits at the intersection of workforce development and progression, apprenticeships and career pathways, and employability and skills programmes. We specialise in inclusive recruitment and advancement systems, alongside accessible and equitable learning delivery that supports participation, progression, and long-term workforce sustainability.
Our Purpose
We believe access to good work and progression should not depend on background, circumstance, or traditional recruitment routes. We support organisations to build inclusive systems where individuals can succeed at every stage of their journey—from early careers and entry roles, through mid-career progression routes, to professional and degree-level development and sustained employment with long-term advancement opportunities.
Greaves Education exists to support organisations to deliver high-quality learning and workforce programmes that create capability, progression, and long-term social value — across sectors and career stages.
Who We Work With
Our partnerships also extend to apprenticeship and training providers, public sector organisations, and regional skills partnerships, enabling a coordinated approach to workforce planning and delivery. Alongside this, we work with social enterprises, charities, and community organisations to reach underrepresented groups, remove barriers to participation, and support individuals into meaningful, long-term careers.
