Sustainable careers the win-win solution

3 Minute Read

Sustainable careers the win-win solution for your business, your employees and the government. It can be a struggle to balance your competitive organisation targets, a competitive economy and your employees quality of life. It is often thought that achieving all three may not be possible. We know differently! Though it may be unclear to you, this balance can be achieved through the creation of sustainable career pathways.

A sustainable career ultimately means the ability for your employees to maintain the following areas both throughout their career and into the future:

Employability: Employability is achieved through constant learning and a capacity to be mentally flexible.

Job performance: To perform well requires up-to-date knowledge and skills, creativity and psychological resources.

Work/life balance: To be able to purse non-work interests and accommodate personal needs (such as family time and personal development).

Health: Both physical and mental health is critical for several reasons:

• Impaired mental health restricts an individual’s ability to deal with demanding and challenging issues in work and personal life
• Poor health creates both employer and societal problems – reduces the capacity to maintain employability, and reduces the ability to enjoy what life has to offer.

Apprenticeships offer you a solution for sustainable careers

The apprenticeship programme we offer have been created with sustainable careers at their heart, offering a nationally recognised qualification (Employability – Check), our expert personal tutors offer the latest up-to-date knowledge and skills to meet the role requirements while pushing each learner to think outside the box around creativity and problem solving (Job performance – Check).

All apprentices are required to complete off-the-job-training as part of their programme. This is both aimed at helping them with continued personal development while simultaneously providing them with access to a range of industry-leading resource materials. (Work/life balance – Check).
