Empowering the Next Generation: Theresa Chilton's Apprenticeship Project in Social Care

The Next Generation project, led by Theresa Chilton, aims to engage children and young adults (ages 5-18) with apprenticeship opportunities in social care. Targeting schools and colleges within the age ranges of 5-16 and 16+, the initiative addresses sector growth and promotes career diversity, highlighting progression opportunities. With youth unemployment rates at 22%, this project connects local employers with school and college leavers seeking apprenticeship vacancies. Feedback from participants shows a growing interest in careers in social care, paving the way for sustainable engagement between employers and educational institutions.
