Your IPS journey begins with our training!
For over twenty years, we’ve been at the forefront of implementing high-quality Individual Placement and Support (IPS) in the UK. Our passion lies in empowering professionals like you to make a real difference in people’s lives.
We offer a range of courses to train IPS workers and to develop the leadership skills of IPS managers.
Which course is right for you? Employment specialists should start with our 2-day “Doing what works” course. This comprehensive training will equip you with the knowledge and tools support people into employment using the IPS model. Managers can enhance their leadership skills with our “Leading for excellence” training. Once you’ve been in post a couple of months, you can further develop your IPS skills with our other courses, such as employer engagement and motivational interviewing training.
