Kevin Moore - Conference Chair

Project Lead: Integrated Employment and Skills
Association of Employment and Learning Providers

Kevin has been working in employment and skills for almost 20 years. A success story for the sector, Kevin’s journey began as a client, when he was referred onto an IT course through the Training for Work scheme in 1995. Since then, he has helped build a small London provider by 1,000%, run the London region for a prime contractor and, for the last 7 years, run his own small business, Future Path.

Kevin is equally comfortable in both the employment and skills sectors. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Employability Professionals, as well as a qualified trainer, assessor and IQA. He has been involved in the bidding for, and running, of all major provision in the last 19 years, most recently being involved in developing a skills department for a Work Programme prime, and assisting with the bidding and supply chain assembly for the MoJ “Transforming Rehabilitation” exercise.

A former engineering apprentice, police officer and publican, Kevin is well known within the sectors for his imposing size and enthusiastic delivery style. When not working for AELP, Kevin helps run Future Path, including the delivery of employment support for North London residents with common mental health issues.
