A MESSAGE FROM AWARDS BROCHURE SPONSOR
We are delighted to be supporting the Inspire Wales Awards, which recognise the role that individuals and organisations play in Welsh life, inspiring and motivating those around them as we too aspire to do.
With the challenging economic climate and tough job market it is more important than ever that we respond to the training requirements of the workforce to ensure that all learners in Wales benefit from the right qualification and skills-based training they need to succeed and achieve their full potential.
We employ inspirational professionals who are committed to recognising learner achievement through credit and qualifications which are flexible and responsive to the needs of individuals and communities in Wales.
As the awarding organisation - made in Wales for Wales - we are ideally placed to respond to the needs of learners and centres, and our dedicated team of
specialists is committed to promoting the Welsh language by encouraging assessment through the medium of Welsh. All our qualifications are available through the medium of Welsh and we provide qualifications to support learners improve their Welsh for use in learning and the workforce.
Since our formation in 2009, Agored Cymru, with offices in both North and South Wales, now offers over 100 qualifications with no registration charge, and payment only for learners who achieve their learning. All qualifications allow flexibility for ongoing, continuous professional development; and as a Credit & Qualifications Framework for Wales (CQFW) recognised body we are also able to accredit in-house training and help businesses deliver high quality, bespoke quality assurance for your training.
With our established pedigree of creating flexible qualifications to reward achievements for learners in Wales we are delighted to support an initiative that acknowledges and encourages excellence and innovation by celebrating those who live in Wales and
who inspire, motivate and enrich the lives of their families, friends and communities.
I would like to wish all nominees the very best of luck and look forward to hearing the inspirational stories of all the finalists and winners.
