Shaping the future of health and social care education is the invitation extended to employers by Glasgow Kelvin College at a bespoke event being held on 26 November.
With legislation requiring care providers to have achieved SVQ before 2030, as part of SSSC Registration Requirements, the award-winning College is opening its Springburn Campus to employers across the health and social care sectors.
Using the C.A.R.E approach – Creating Accessible Routes in Education the Key aim is to create a forum to help modernise health and social care qualifications to better meet the needs of the industry.
Feedback and insight from employers will help shape sector specific course content and development, being delivered by the College, many of which come with funding available to cover the cost of places, for qualifying businesses.
Enabling staff to achieve the necessary qualifications and reducing staff turnover, for those not qualified, will be key motivators for securing relevant course places.
The event will give employers, care providers and those connected to the profession an opportunity to meet and discuss their training requirements, whilst learning more about the flexible course provisions, placements and understanding barriers to qualifications, drawing on the expertise of specialist Glasgow Kelvin College staff.
Through round table sessions and a working lunch the event is designed to generate dialogue, ideas to ensure future provision has input from the business community.
Being delivered for managers, partnership leads, learning and development staff and anyone involved in workforce development the day will also provide insight into the college’s plans for modernising health and social care qualifications.
With over 15 businesses already signed up it promises to be an informative and unique opportunity to let Glasgow Kelvin College support the future training and workforce qualifications.
