Could your business inspire the next generation? 💡

By attending a careers event, you can showcase your business, share insights into your sector and help young people understand the opportunities available to them.

Whether through an information stand, a short presentation or a conversation about your career journey, your involvement can help young people make informed decisions about their future while raising awareness of careers within your organisation.

This is the view from a care employer in Torbay... and they're not alone 🙏🏼

Across Greater Devon, employers link leadership quality to productivity, retention and the ability to adopt change. But they're clear about the support they want: short, practical, peer-based learning, with coaching and mentoring, rather than long classroom courses.

Employers across Greater Devon describe the 'accidental manager': technically strong people promoted into supervisory roles without support to lead others, handle conflict, develop staff or shape team culture.

It is most common in SMEs, where time and money for structured management development are tight.

🗣️ "Leadership is not simply about managing performance; it is about recognising potential, creating pathways and helping people see a future within the organisation."

This is how many funded management apprenticeship starts Greater Devon used to see every year through three standards (Senior Leader, Chartered Manager and Operations Manager) that have now been withdrawn ⬆️

Meanwhile, defence, construction and health are creating more supervisory and management roles. The people being promoted into them are the same workforce that has just lost its main funded route to develop.

Welcome to Built with Employers: four months, four priorities from the Greater Devon Local Skills Improvement Plan, all shaped by what local employers told us.

We start with Leadership 🙋‍♂️
