2022_Edu - Online employability, career and professional development training for Alumni UK

The British Council is looking for a supplier who can design, co-ordinate and deliver a range of employability, career and professional development online training for a target audience of international UK alumni.

This training will form an important part of the British Council's new global alumni programme 'Alumni UK'. Alumni UK aims to create an engaged network of 150,000 international UK alumni by 2025. The British Council will engage these alumni through offering a range of useful resources which includes employability, career and professional development training. Alumni UK has a bespoke online hub and will promote all the training to our international UK alumni network online via our hub. When joining Alumni UK (which is free for everyone who is eligible) individuals will gain access to career and learning resources, training, opportunities, and exclusive online and face to face events. Alumni UK is currently in its pilot stage and has close to 10,000 alumni registered from across 100 countries. Over the next six months we expect to see over 20,000 individuals register for Alumni UK. The programme has been designed based upon market research with the target audience, which clearly identified a desire from alumni, for the British Council to support them across their careers.

All the training will be delivered online to reach our global audience. There will be a limited number of spaces for each training session and offer these will be offered on a first come, first served basis. All the training should be designed and developed with the Alumni UK target audience in mind, international UK alumni. Within this broad group there are three sub-groups, early career international UK alumni, mid-career international UK alumni and senior leaders who are international UK alumni. Alumni UK has 14 focus countries which we would expect the training to be relevant and tailored to, these countries are, Mexico, Brazil, Nigeria, Germany, France, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and India.
