AIM Qualifications and Assessment Group is delighted to announce a new strategic partnership with The Sustainability Academy. This collaboration, initiated at the annual GESS conference in Dubai, will offer sustainability training via the Academy and accreditation via AIM, supporting learners in all settings around this critically important global agenda.
The partnership aims to develop accredited training programs that will help learners of all ages and contexts better understand sustainability and how they can support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Supporting learners of all ages
Fabienne Bailey, Business Growth and Transformation Director at AIM said, "We are proud at AIM to be working with The Sustainability Academy to develop accredited training that can support learners of all ages and in all contexts to better understand this important agenda, and how they themselves can support the UN’s sustainable development goals. Through the broad range of contextualised training offered by The Sustainability Academy, there is a programme for any type of organisation. As a Chamber member ourselves, we can see how this training and accreditation could add huge value to any business, for their leadership teams, staff and stakeholders to demonstrate their commitment to a greener and more sustainable future for their businesses".
Sustainability education
Sara Wilcock, Co-Founder of The Sustainability Academy added: “This partnership is set to make a significant impact on sustainability education in the further education sector, equipping colleges and training providers with the tools they need to integrate sustainability into their curricula and operations. This partnership represents a significant step forward in promoting sustainability education and accreditation across various sectors, providing businesses with the tools they need to contribute to a more sustainable future”. We are really excited to have created a bespoke level 2 Introduction to Sustainability accredited by AIM Qualifications and Accreditations which we will be launching with The Royal Air Force Air Cadets (RAFAC) in October this year.
New bespoke Level 2 qualification in sustainability for RAF cadets
Wing Commander Dr Jill Matterface, Head of Training and Transformational Education, Royal Air Force Air Cadets (RAFAC) said, The RAF Cadets are delighted to announce the launch of a bespoke Level 2 qualification in sustainability, a significant step in preparing cadets for future roles within the RAF and beyond. This pioneering qualification will equip cadets with crucial knowledge but also inspire them to become advocates for sustainability within their chosen fields. It reflects RAFAC's commitment to developing well-rounded individuals who are prepared to tackle the complex challenges of the 21st century.
This partnership comes at an opportune time, as the new flexibilities in the government's Adult Skills Fund for 2024-2025 now qualify non-regulated, tailored learning provision, such as AIM's Bespoke Accreditation, for funding. This development opens new possibilities for organisations to access funded sustainability training, further enhancing the value of this partnership.
This collaboration represents a significant step forward in promoting sustainability education and accreditation across various sectors, providing businesses with the tools they need to contribute to a more sustainable future.
