Skills for Care launch ‘Keep learning to build your future’
Skills for Care has launched ‘Keep learning to build your future’ to shine a spotlight on the importance of learning and development for a sustainable adult social care sector.
‘Keep learning to build your future’ runs throughout January and February 2026 and will provide information and practical examples of learning and development in action, as well as answering common queries around training and qualifications in social care. It’s intended to support the adult social care workforce to prioritise their own learning and development, as well as upskilling teams.
Victoria Collier, Head of National Workforce Development, Capability and Skills, Skills for Care, says:
“I’m excited that we’re starting the new year with a focus on learning and development, and spotlighting how vital learning and development is in building the future of social care.
We know that providing access to learning and development opportunities has a significant impact on staff satisfaction and retention, and can also attract more new people to work in care. As we project the need for around 470,000 new posts by 2040, building a sustainable workforce with the skills and confidence to meet the current and future needs of our communities must be prioritised. Our spotlight will provide resources, information and real-life examples to support people with their own learning as well as developing their team.”
