Upskilling and Innovating in the Housing and Social Care Sectors with GCU

We will be hosting a half-day workshop tailored specifically for organisations working in the Housing & Social Care sectors. This workshop will explore exciting opportunities to upskill your workforce and drive innovation within your organisations through work-based learning models such as Graduate Apprenticeships (GAs) and Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs).

The care and housing sectors are essential to Scotland’s social fabric, providing critical services and support to our communities. However, these sectors face ongoing challenges, including workforce recruitment and retention, skill shortages, and the need for innovative solutions to sustain and enhance services. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to:

• Understand Graduate Apprenticeships (GAs): Discover how the fully-funded Graduate Apprenticeships degrees can help upskill your current workforce and attract new talent through practical, work-based learning tailored to the needs of the care and housing sectors.

• Explore Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs): Learn how KTPs can support your organisation's innovation needs, enabling you to collaborate with GCU's academic expertise to tackle real-world challenges and improve service delivery.

• Network with Sector Peers: Engage with other care and housing professionals to share experiences, challenges, and best practices.

• Develop Strategic Solutions: Participate in interactive sessions to identify common sector challenges and develop actionable strategies for leveraging GAs and KTPs.

Join us for lunch at 12pm, followed by an afternoon of learning, collaboration, and innovation, and discover how GCU can support your organisation in achieving its goals.
