🚀 Thrilled to have represented iekAKMIedu at the first online kickoff meeting of the #Care4Skills project today! This 4-years groundbreaking project, part of the Alliances for Sectoral Cooperation on Skills programme (Erasmus+ Blueprint) and coordinated by EASPD - European Association of Service providers for Persons with Disabilities, is set to revolutionize the long-term care (LTC) sector across European Union.   🤝 Bringing together 6 European platforms (EASPD, EAN, EPSU, Social Employers, EVBB & SSE) and 22 organizations from 10 countries (BE, BU, CZ, FI, FR, GR, HU, IT, NL, ES), a dynamic mix of social sector representatives, VET providers, HEIs, and a certification body, we're on a mission to enhance the quality of LTC through tailored upskilling and reskilling programs.   📈 Over the next 4 years, Care4Skills aims to make a lasting impact on LTC sector, improve the quality of life for those in care and their families, and train 1500 frontline workers in the first year alone. Plus, we're developing a standardized methodology for skill needs anticipation, new modular VET curricula, European Strategy for Skills in LTC and launch European and national certifications of the curricula.   AKMI International

With so many reports and figures being thrown around, it can be hard to see the facts which are true to the Cambridgeshire VCSE. That's why Support Cambridgeshire partners are running their annual #CambsVCSESurvey24 to pull the data together to make a case for the challenges, opportunities and trends all groups face. Therefore, we ask as many individuals as possible from organisations to fill in our survey and tell us what it's like. In return, your organisation could be in to win £100, and that data will help CCVS and Hunts Forum plan their services and will be used by statutory services such as health councils and funders to make decisions around services, funding and much more.

Giving people a chance makes a real difference. At Medsalv, we’re committed to creating positive change, and Darryl’s story is a testament to that. After suffering a stroke in 2021, Darryl faced challenges finding work. Potential employers told him, "We'll give you a shot—just get some experience first," which wasn’t the help he needed. Fast forward to today, Darryl has been with Medsalv for over a year, playing a vital role in managing every product sent from our Christchurch Warehouse to hospitals across New Zealand that are #ChangingHealthcareForGood 🏥 Social employment goes beyond job creation—it eases the welfare system, reduces government costs, and brings wider societal benefits.

The Global Talent Shortage is the New Frontier in Aftercare. As Vanessa Gibson of CINDE - Experts in FDI and Roberta Dall'Olio of Euroda highlighted, a perfect talent storm is creating major headwinds for investment projects around attracting, developing and retaining the highly skilled personnel needed to remain competitive. As Vanessa put it: "There is a huge gap between the expectations of companies and the realities of the talent we are able to offer." Roberta points out that regions must get strategic about comprehensive talent development starting from education systems, providing affordable housing, robust social services, and a high overall quality of life. Aftercare is emerging as the critical orchestrator across this constellation of talent drivers. IPAs must now intricately understand the human capital needs of existing investors and work hand-in-hand with all stakeholders - universities, training providers, economic development bodies, municipalities - to continuously level up their talent value proposition. #aftercareforum #talentshortage #fdi
