SureTrax, based in the North East, won the Enterprising Learning Product Award at the celebratory event in October.

SureTrax won the award for their innovative programme to help learners maximise their employability and enterprise skills and engage with employers in a professional manner. It is now being adopted by a growing network of Colleges and training organisations.

The Self Marketing and Personal Enterprise Programme, which is Ofqual recognised and SFEDI accredited, has fast gained a reputation for excellent results helping learners to help themselves, building their self-belief and equipping them with the practical skills to penetrate and navigate the employment market and sustain employment by following six easy steps. These steps help them to take control, realise and fulfil their potential through being organised and the skills and knowledge to continue developing their life and career.

Founder, Tony Osborne, said:

“Our innovative approach promotes entrepreneurial and enterprising attitudes and creates a culture of ownership and action and provides learners with the confidence, skills and knowledge to proactively engage with the business world. Delegates are able to access a wider range of opportunities within the employment market by “thinking like an employer”.

The programme has been developed over a three year period with the input of over 1500 participants, a high percentage who have moved into sustainable employment, self- employment or further training.

The SureTrax programme development team have a wealth of experience in leading high performance business and sales teams in multi-national, blue chip organisations with extensive knowledge of new business start-ups, recruitment, the Welfare to Work sector and labour market intelligence.

Ruth Lowbridge, Executive Chair of SFEDI and IOEE, said:

"We're delighted to present SureTrax with this award. The company's programme is making a real difference to the lives of those striving to get a job in today's competitive marketplace".
