Why will employers need more young people? • Impact of population change and public health trends - on both the Supply of people to fill jobs and Demand for services • Lots of people leaving the workforce by 2022 will need to be replaced • Growth in some parts of the sector will create new jobs • Existing jobs are changing; employers need higher level skills
So how many jobs will there be across the UK? • Employment across the Health and Social Care sector overall is projected to grow between 2012 and 2022: it is anticipated that there could be as many as 700,000 new workers • In addition there are expected to be an additional 1.4 million job openings as a result of people leaving the workforce. • In Health, the majority of employment growth is projected among highly skilled occupations (therefore competition for skills is likely to be high) (Source: Sector Insights 2015, UKCES)
What does that mean for jobs and careers? • Move to higher skilled employees • New job roles and careers • Lifelong learning and skills improvement is a must for everyone • Need for MORE people to replace the staff who will retire, gain promotion or leave • Opportunities for progress and promotion • A range of entry and progression routes, from apprenticeships and trainee and student posts to Further and Higher Education qualification
