In recognition of School Social Worker Week, let's explore the path to becoming a social worker and delineate the distinctions between a School Social Worker and a School Counselor Have you ever considered the path to becoming a social worker? Prospective school social workers are typically required to attain both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in social work, supplemented by a school internship experience. It's important to note that specific requirements may vary from state to state. Do you know what distinguishes a school counselor from a school social worker? Understanding the distinction between a school social worker and a school counselor is vital. While school counselors primarily aid students in achieving academic goals through individual or group counseling sessions, school social workers specialize in providing individualized support to students for improved academic and social performance. #NationalSchoolSocialWorkWeek #SSWWeek2024   #MaximStaffing #SchoolStaffing #SchoolJobs #EducationServices

Myth Busting - Work Experience If you offer a placement you don't get given a student to take, you can interview and find the student to find who's the best fit for your business. This is a win win, you know who you're getting and the students get valuable interview experience, we all know how daunting interviews are! Extra win, if you have a staff mentor you are looking to be on an interview panel for the first time, they can also use this as practice. A staff member looking to progress to team leader, mentoring a work experience is a great first step to developing management skills. 🔹 Lou Earp - Dutton Gregory Solicitors 🔹FREC🔹 example below is wonderful to see. In the New Forest Sam Sutton takes this approach as their work in outdoor activities is niche it's important to have the right student to ensure the experience is great for them and for Sam's team. If you interview for work experience students add a comment, I'd love to hear more examples. For work experience at our local colleges contact Claire Pacariz for Brockenhurst and Pamela Broad for Totton. 🎯 Jodi Fair Sara Warry-Powell Jamie Webber Matt Rowland #workexperience #skills #newforestbusiness

We're proud to be supporting Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2024 - a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. It aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools, universities, and organisations with the opportunity to recognise the many talents and advantages of being neurodivergent, while creating more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences and empower every individual. Within our own sector, studies show that 25% of construction workers identify as neurodiverse, and this week our colleagues are being invited to get involved in group sessions to encourage conversation around how we're continuing to support and celebrate different minds within Keyline and the Travis Perkins Group. To date, our organisation has supported 120 neurodiverse colleagues through apprenticeship programmes with an additional 60 neurodiverse apprentices due to graduate in the near future.
