Award-winning Social Enterprise Renaisi appoints ICONI to help deliver their RISE Employability Programme

Published 26th May 2020

Within a few weeks of being implemented, Renaisi had over 1,000 programme participants added to the new solution, which helped them have full visibility of the support they provide to their customers.

RISE (Refugees into Sustainable Employment) is a free employment programme which supports refugees across ten London boroughs, helping them find sustainable, rewarding employment through dedicated support. ICONI Software is delighted that it has been appointed by Renaisi and implemented a case management solution for RISE.

Renaisi selected ICONI after being impressed by the ease of use of their Employability software and seeing that it would enable their programme managers to put their time and focus into where it is most needed: supporting programme participants.

Gerrar Ahmed, Programme Manager at Renaisi said:


Our team are delighted with ICONI’s software solution and since implementation, they can quickly and easily track an individual’s end-to-end support journey.  At all stages, they can choose the appropriate action or support route, which would most benefit the individual at that exact point in time.  This degree of flexibility and responsiveness results in individuals being accelerated into work more quickly because the support journey is built around their ever-changing needs, rather than promoting a one-size-fits-all approach.

The CEP solution implemented for Renaisi is built on a highly configurable system, developed and implemented by ICONI to the needs of Renaisi.  

ICONI’s Managing Director Liam Jordan commented:

“We are thrilled to have been selected by Renaisi to implement our CEP platform for their RISE programme.  Working with them to develop a solution to support their employment programme was hugely rewarding.  Their focus was primarily to give their Advisors full visibility of a supported individual.  However, during our detailed project scoping phase, we were soon able to identify a further benefits including programme compliance and additional reporting.”

Renaisi chose a range of built-in features including ICONI’s Course Management feature that improves the access to training courses and workshops and enables course bookings to be made within the solution.

As Renaisi’s mission is focused on helping people, ICONI’s software solution has supported their ability to positively change people’s lives.
