The CPD Accredited Employer standard

The CPD Accredited Employer scheme adds value by working with you to develop your organisation’s strategic capabilities in the most cost effective ways. The ‘bundling’ of each of our 8 best-practice criteria (identified through 12 years of industry research and auditing) allow organisations to underpin their core business strategy with a flexible and responsive learning environment.  Four additional ‘Advisory Best Practices’ are designed to allow all organisations to move up the value chain, whatever their sector.

Aims

We assist employers facilitate their engineering staff to become and remain:

• Technically up-to-date
• Professionally well-rounded
• Capable of handling responsibility and taking initiative
• Competitive in the international arena

The CPD Accredited Employer standard recognises the individual needs of businesses in a range of technologies and markets.

In stimulating ‘a smart economy’, Engineers Ireland partners with the Department of Education & Skills to fund this innovative scheme.
