East Riding Yorkshire CouncilThe East Riding Workforce and Education Project (WEP) has a strategy to promote social care careers that responds to immediate vacancies, attracting new people into the care sector and supports educational institutions to enhance health and social care learning and qualification provision.
The project seeks to address sector wide resourcing in the short, medium and long term, thereby sustaining adult social care with a skilled and knowledgeable workforce. Challenges facing the care sector apply at all levels, however the WEP enhances availability and transferability of learning within the care sector, assisting retention in adult social care and a future in promoting careers in social care.
