Request for proposals for a learning and development partner
The ICRS is seeking an expert learning & development partner to develop and deliver an online course catalogue that aligns with our Competency Framework and mission.
Background
The demand for sustainability professionals is increasing globally as is the skillset needed to respond to the constantly evolving sustainability market landscape. The ICRS recognises the importance of credible and high-quality training and would like to provide and signpost accessible online training to our membership. Currently, there is a wide range of sustainability training available, but it varies in cost, quality, recognition, and sector applicability. Our members would benefit from a curated, high-quality training courses provided via an ICRS approved catalogue. We expect an upper range of 400-500 ICRS members using this catalogue.
The ICRS is therefore seeking an established online Learning & Development partner that can provide ready-to-access, virtual content for our members to develop their CR&S skills and knowledge in line with the ICRS Competency Framework. The provision of this content should also be aligned with wider best practice for continued professional development expected as part of maintaining professional chartership such as Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) or Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) requirements.
The Board recognises the variety of options available to meet this need and welcomes proposals on various models of partnership. We are seeking a partner to collaborate with over time as the scale and range of topics relevant for CR&S professionals continues to evolve.
