Social Value Academy: A new era of learning and impact

Organisations are now expected to create lasting, positive impact in the communities they serve. That’s where Social Value comes in.

The Social Value Academy is an interactive, self-paced learning hub designed to build skills, awareness, and confidence around social value. It offers structured online modules, certification, and best practice resources to help learners understand what social value is, how to measure it, and how to embed it meaningfully into strategy and delivery.

Whether you're new to Social Value or looking to deepen your expertise, the Academy provides a solid foundation and ongoing development opportunities.

What will you learn?

The Academy’s curriculum has been developed by Social Value Portal’s expert team of practitioners and consultants. Key learning areas include:

• Introduction to Social Value: What it means and why it matters
• Measuring and Managing Impact: Tools and frameworks, including the National TOMs
• Embedding Social Value: Strategy, procurement, and delivery best practices
• Sector-Specific Modules: Tailored content for construction, real estate, public sector, and more

Why it matters

Understanding social value isn’t just about compliance; it’s about leadership. Organisations that invest in Social Value literacy build stronger stakeholder relationships, attract purpose-driven talent, and unlock new opportunities for growth and innovation.

By completing the Academy’s training and achieving certification, individuals and teams can:

• Boost their social value literacy
• Enhance their professional credibility
• Contribute to a more equitable, sustainable future

Who is it for?

The Social Value Academy is designed for a wide audience:

• Businesses of all sizes looking to embed social value in their operations
• Public sector organisations focused on achieving better outcomes for communities
• Individual professionals, from CSR and ESG leads to procurement managers, project teams, and social impact practitioners

The Social Value Academy is a natural extension of Social Value Portal’s mission: to help organisations measure, manage, and maximise their Social Value. By combining platform technology, expert consultancy, and now structured learning, SVP is equipping organisations with the tools they need to turn intent into action.

The Social Value Academy will officially launch this summer. Sign up for the waitlist now!
