HC-One is participating in the 15th annual celebration of National Apprenticeship Week, taking place from the 7-13 February 2022.
The week brings together apprentices and organisations from across England to highlight and champion the amazing positive impact and difference that apprenticeship opportunities can make to the lives of organisations, individuals and wider society.
This year’s theme is ‘build the future’ focusing on how apprenticeships are helping to build a talented workforce and investing in the country’s future workforce.
In partnership with Lifetime Training, HC-One’s apprenticeship training provider, throughout the week a number of stories about inspirational HC-One Colleagues who have successfully completed apprenticeships are being shared across HC-One’s social media channels and Lifetime Training sites.
Nicola Neeson, Unit Manager at Aspen Court Care Home in Poplar, London, recently achieved her Adult Care Worker Apprenticeship programme. She said: “I embarked on to an apprenticeship programme as I wanted to be able to further my career and knowledge around care, which is my passion. The apprenticeship was a great learning opportunity, you see things from other perspectives and gain more in-depth knowledge. My career goal is to become a Home Manager. That’s what I am working towards.”
In the last 12 months, HC-One has seen 308 Colleagues in England alone successfully complete their apprenticeship programmes and are currently supporting a further 730 Colleagues to achieve their apprenticeship programme in the next two years.
Susan Beasley, HC-One’s Apprenticeship and Qualifications Manager, commented: “I’m extremely proud of each and every one of those Colleagues who have successfully achieved their apprenticeship programme with HC-One and those that have committed to completing an apprenticeship to develop their skills and knowledge and achieve their career aspirations.
“Apprenticeships are an important part of HC-One’s learning and development offer. Investing in apprenticeship programmes means our Colleagues are able to access high quality, accredited work-based learning qualifications, which are industry recognised.”
“Our apprenticeship programmes support our commitment to growing our Colleagues and to provide clear career progression pathways that offer long term, rewarding careers in the care sector.”
