Promoted on behalf of the Joint Social Services Taskforce (JSST)
The Earn and Learn College Placements Blueprint for Adult Social Care was developed as a workstream of the Joint Social Services Taskforce (JSST), co-chaired by the Scottish Government and COSLA, which has been taking forward actions on priorities for the social care and social work workforces.
This Blueprint aims to address issues of recruitment into the Adult Social Care sector, offering a supported entry route into careers in social care while undertaking relevant qualifications. It draws on best practice to offer principles on how social care employers can work with their local college to establish earn and learn placements, enabling students to fulfil their course placement hours through short-term paid employment.
