CareTech has been recognised as one of the Top 100 Apprenticeships Employers in the UK.

The Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers list, first compiled in 2020, which has been developed by the Department of Education in partnership with High Fliers Research, independently assesses and ranks the nation’s top apprenticeship employers based on their commitment to employing apprentices, creation of new apprenticeship schemes, diversity of new apprentices and the number of people who complete their apprenticeships and progress further with the employer.

“We are incredibly proud to be recognised as one of the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers,” said Nigel Taylor, group head of learning and development at CareTech.

“At CareTech, we firmly believe in the power of apprenticeships to shape the careers of talented individuals and how they contribute to the overall growth of our industry. This accolade acknowledges our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional opportunities for apprentices to thrive and succeed, in CareTech and the wider sector. We are further developing our strategy to increase the numbers of nurses and nurse associates in the sector as part of our ‘Grow Your Own Nurses’ Strategy. We would like to thank our partners for their support in achieving this position, especially our main provider DH Associates.”

DH Associate’s Kate Day, director of operations, teaching and learning, commented: “The recognition demonstrates our commitment to apprenticeships and the wrap-around support which leads to high levels of attainment and significant higher-level achievement.”
