Workforce development
Teesside University and NHS South Tees Trust are collaborating on the Chartered Management Degree Apprenticeship, advancing staff skills and knowledge. The programme has fostered continuous improvement, enhanced operational practices, and supported a progressive workplace culture.
NHS South Tees Trust, a major employer in Teesside, needed to foster continuous professional growth and development within their workforce to maintain high operational standards and employee satisfaction. The company sought structured learning programmes that aligned with the responsibilities of their staff, while also ensuring that their apprenticeships provided high-quality and relevant training.
To meet these needs, NHS South Tees Trust collaborated with Teesside University to enrol their employees in professional apprenticeship programmes, including the Chartered Management Degree Apprenticeship. This programme was chosen for its tailored modules that directly applied to employees' roles. The university's commitment to delivering responsive and high-quality learning experiences was essential in supporting the Trust’s goals.
The partnership with Teesside University has significantly benefited NHS South Tees Trust. Employees, including Learning and Development Operational Team Lead, Caroline Hamilton, have gained advanced skills and knowledge that have improved operational practices. The positive impact of the apprenticeships has inspired a culture of continuous improvement and professional development within the company. This collaboration has not only empowered the Trust’s employees but has also reinforced the company’s reputation as a progressive and supportive workplace.
