NGO Partnerships
Connect the people you support with language practice, professional mentoring and practical skills. Work with TEEI to extend your existing programmes, plan opportunities with other organisations or bring your own programme and expertise to new groups.

An employment programme can be strengthened by conversation practice. Someone finishing a course may benefit from professional guidance. A community organisation may know what its participants want to learn but need a specialist to teach it.
Start with TEEI’s existing programmes, which are free for participants.
TEEI Language connects learners with volunteer conversation partners for one-to-one video sessions. Participants practise speaking for work, study and everyday situations.
TEEI Mentorship connects participants with professionals for guidance on career direction, applications, interviews and next steps in their field.
Skills Academy combines live one-to-one support, ongoing mentoring, group classes, webinars and self-paced learning to help participants develop and apply professional skills.
We can help you identify suitable opportunities, explain how participants join and coordinate introductions where useful.
Contributing a programme or volunteers is not a requirement for receiving support.
Your organisation can seek opportunities, contribute to delivery or do both.
Programme eligibility, participants’ goals and available opportunities guide the starting point.
The programmes are already in motion.
Existing activity across the three programmes TEEI runs, not the result of any one partnership.

Who holds what changes from way to way
Introduce suitable language practice, mentoring or skills opportunities alongside your existing services. Your team continues its work with participants while the additional support addresses a related need, such as practising workplace conversations during an employment programme.
The same participants, in both
Help participants identify what comes next before a course or support programme finishes. That could mean continuing their learning, applying a new skill or seeking guidance from a relevant professional as they work towards their next goal.
A next step, named before it ends
Connect participants with similar needs through a focused workshop, clinic or expert session. Interview practice, portfolio feedback or a practical skills session may be easier to arrange when several organisations form a group together.
Several organisations, one group
Explore delivering a programme you already run to additional participants through collaboration. We agree who teaches, how materials may be used and what support is needed. Your organisation retains ownership of its programme and helps shape how it reaches new groups.
Your programme travels, and stays yours
Tell us about a need that current opportunities do not meet. We can explore whether a shared group, another delivery partner, specialist expertise or additional funding could help make a suitable programme possible.

Hypothetical example · the one case where several organisations are the point
Imagine several organisations each supporting a few people who need help presenting a data portfolio.
3 + 2 + 4 people · three organisations
Another organisation has a suitable short programme. A professional can lead the session. Local teams can help participants prepare, find a suitable space and join online.

Working with TEEI, they could combine those contributions into a shared group that none would have arranged alone. The programme owner brings the teaching approach, the specialist brings practical experience and each organisation supports its own participants.
arranged with TEEI · one participant receives the invitation
A need that was difficult to meet separately becomes something they can organise together.

You do not need a finished proposal. Sometimes the right answer is a straightforward introduction. Sometimes it is a group or activity planned together.
1.
Describe the people you support, an opportunity they are looking for or something your organisation could bring. You do not need a finished proposal.
You write it · TEEI reads it and replies by email
2.
We look at relevant existing programmes or discuss a shared delivery option. Sometimes the right answer is a straightforward introduction. Sometimes it is a group or activity planned together.
You say what your participants need · TEEI proposes an existing programme, or a shared option
3.
Before confirming delivery, we agree the participant group, responsibilities, timing and resources.
Where additional delivery needs funding or specialist support, that forms part of the plan.
Both · the group, the responsibilities, the timing, the resources
4.
We work together on introductions, the agreed activity and suitable follow-up. Each organisation has a clear role, and participants can decide which opportunities they wish to pursue next.
The agreed lead delivers: your instructor, a partner, or a TEEI professional · TEEI coordinates the introductions and the follow-up · Your team keeps its relationship with the participants
Your organisation may already have something that could be useful to more people: a course, curriculum, teaching approach, experienced instructors, mentors or specialist knowledge. A venue, equipment or staff who can help participants join can also make delivery possible.

Your organisation remains the owner of its programme.
Sometimes all you need is a useful programme to pass on. You can share TEEI’s public programme information with your community without arranging a formal partnership. Use the relevant page to explain the opportunity and direct people to its own joining process.
