The social care sector urgently needs more workers. As such, Cera warmly welcomes Skills for Care’s new workforce strategy, outlining how we can attract more than half a million more workers to a career in care over the next 15 years 👍 As an endorsed Skills for Care provider, Cera invests in dedicated career pathways for our people, with hundreds of active apprenticeships and dedicated training at all levels to enable our people to build a career out of care. Skills for Care’s suggestions to improve worker pay are interesting ideas for the new Government to consider. But wages alone are not a silver bullet to tackling recruitment, upskilling and retention problems. We’ve found technology and AI to be transformative here: ✅ Our recruitment technology enabled us to attract more than half a million applicants to work at Cera last year ✅ We use AI avatars to train our staff to a rigorously high standard ✅ Our AI-powered Flight Risk tool has enabled us to increase staff retention by 10% Read the full strategy below 👇 #SocialCare #WorkforceStrategy #Innovation #Upskilling #Technology #AI #NewGovernment
For the first time ever the adult social care sector has come together to develop the Workforce Strategy that it needs. We need the Strategy to ensure we have enough of the right people with the right skills to provide the best possible care and support for the people who draw on it. https://lnkd.in/eYmUPuJ8
