ERSA member organisations deliver services to jobseekers and learners across the UK. ERSA supports them through a wide mix of policy support, representation and services.

ERSA’s members come from all sectors and are active in the following fields:

  • Educational settings, including those providing information, advice and guidance
  • Services to increase and sustain the employability of current and future jobseekers
  • Services to help people maintain and develop in employment
  • Services to support enterprise and self employment
  • Associated activities, including research, campaigns, policy, funding and advice services aimed at increasing employability.

Activities are funded through public, commercial, charitable grant or contract income or through self-funded means.  All our members recognise the potential of people and communities and work together to deliver the very best services.
