Not-for-Profit Development Programs

ACT Training Services is a Social Enterprise for Professionals

— October 17, 2010 — Social Good
Based in Hackney, Greater London, ACT Training Services (ACT) is a social enterprise that does just what it says in its name: professional training and development. As a business that focuses on the not-for-profit sector, ACT Training Services is able to offer reasonable prices to those organizations looking to embark on staff development. Founded in 2006, ACT Training Services holds seminars, workshops and vocational training in areas such as management skills, business development, corporate communication, interpersonal skills and leadership development—all things that will make your small or large business a well-rounded enterprise.

ACT’s services include both accredited and unaccredited training programs. In order to be both efficient and effective, ACT Training Services focuses on targeted and short workshops and seminars. Accredited vocational courses include: Health and Safety at Work, Managing Safely (IOSH), Door Supervision, CCTV Operation, Food Safety at Work, First Aid at Work, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP), and more.

For those interested, ACT Training Services offer training programs at its offices in Hackney, or ACT can come to the employer’s site. ACT has worked with many organizations and businesses including Social Enterprise London, Tower Hamlets Homes, Relay London Jobs, Talent! and Job Centre Plus.

ACT Training Services offers services to individuals as well. For anyone who needs help with the basics like resume writing and/or job interview skills, perhaps those professionals who are looking for a promotion or the unemployed looking to reintegrate themselves into the employment environment.

Part of ACT’s role as a social enterprise, the company is committed to quality, equal opportunity, health and safety and the environment. For instance, its Environmental Policy ensures that the company does its part in minimizing its impact on the environment, as well as expecting similar standards from ACT’s suppliers and contractors. By offering competitive prices, valuing their clients and fostering creativity and integrity, ACT Training services hold to its core belief that, “people will achieve, given a chance.”
