DCHC Registered Managers' Network
Join us for our next Registered Managers' Network meeting on 18th November at 11am.
This online session is a chance to learn more about the benefits of T-Levels.
Traditionally, colleges have used social care for Industry Placements, thus giving learners the opportunity to see what the sector has to offer (and show that it is possible to have a career in social care with a wide range of opportunities).
With the demise of the BTEC, we now have T-Levels (Level 3 qualifications, taken over 2 years, for 16-19 year olds).
It is so important that social care embraces this and that learners are given the chance to experience a caring environment to hone their skills.
There are many benefits for employers, including:
• Extra resources for projects and day-to-day operations from students developing skills in a course relevant to the business and industry.
• Giving employees the opportunity to develop management and mentoring skills.
• Generating fresh ideas from young people with imaginative new ideas, innovation and different skills from those already in their workforce.
• Addressing current and future skills shortages in the industry – grow their own workforce with the skills they’ll need in the future.
• Improving cost-effectiveness - Industry placements can offer a pipeline for low cost, effective methods of recruiting from an untapped skills pool.
• Increasing retention rates - Evidence shows that employees recruited through work inclusion initiatives have demonstrated lower staff turnover rates as a result of the increased value that those recruits place on having secured a job. This can result in direct cost savings to the business.
We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you on 18th November.
