The Educ8 Group was established in 2004 by Group Chairman, Colin Tucker, and
provides Apprenticeship Programmes and training for customers across South
Wales. Now employing nearly 200 staff the business is run by CEO, Grant Santos,
with a strong values-first approach and a relentless focus on delivering quality
educational and growth opportunities to the employers and learners that we work
with. The Educ8 Group has an unrivalled track record of delivering high quality
vocational training programs, including Kick-start, ReAct for those who’ve been
made redundant, traineeships and Apprenticeships, to employers of all sizes,
from micro organisations, through to SME’s and global multi-nationals
corporations. We offer a bespoke support package to both our employers and our
learners, maximising the quality of our service delivery. Our designated team of
Customer Account Managers are here to support and guide businesses, at every
step, throughout the recruitment journey. Our team can help you to create and
advertise your job vacancy whilst supporting you with your training and
development needs. Recruiting an apprentice is a straightforward process, one
that we are here to guide you through and make as simple, effective and
time-efficient, as possible. Our learners benefit from an innovative,
Estyn-recognised, blended learning model that allows the freedom to learn
flexibly: we know that it can sometimes be difficult to fit learning around home
or work life, which is why we've made it as easy to do so as possible. Our
industry expert Trainer Coaches will support you, on a one to one basis, to
ensure you are able to achieve your best and acceler8 your career. At Educ8, our
people mean everything to us. Without our motivated and engaged workforce the
company would not have achieved the accolades it has. We’re proud to have been
listed in the Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies To Work For, for the last 6
years and named both Best Educational and Training Company and Best Mid-Sized
Company to work For in the whole UK, 2021. Educ8 is run with an ethos driven by
the values of honesty, integrity, respect and positivity and a passion for
ensuring our learners, employers and staff reach their full potential. Founder
and Chairman Colin Tucker has said: “It is a privilege to have been part of a
journey that began 16 years ago: an organisation employing 14 people has evolved
into the go to provider of Apprenticeships. We’re lucky at Educ8 to have, what I
think, is a world class Board of Directors. In Grant Santos I truly believe that
I have a leader of the highest quality, his leadership during the pandemic has
been exemplary and his commitment to the ethos of leading a values driven
culture and environment are fundamental to our success. Grant is supported by
his fellow board members, Steve Lewis CFO, Jude Holloway (Director of
Operations), Kathryn Wing (Director of Quality), and Ann Nicholas (Customer
Account Director). In my humble opinion, we really do have a Board of Directors
that is sector-leading and genuinely reaching for the stars."
