  • Promotion of Early Years Careers Agenda: Advocate for the early years career sector at industry events and forums; championing the career possibilities and responding to central government reviews of the sector on careers and apprenticeships. Identify strategies and approaches that will set the Busy Bees apprenticeship and career development offer apart in the sector. Work in partnership with recruitment teams to support external campaigns as required.
  • Career Mobility Support: Working alongside the Talent Acquisition team, support talent pools to identify opportunities to progress and develop internally. In collaboration with the wider People Development team, develop and implement training programs that support skill development and career advancement. Provide career guidance tools and resources for team members to help them achieve their professional goals.
  • Apprenticeship Forecasting: Conduct forecasting and planning to anticipate future apprenticeship needs and align apprenticeship standards accordingly. Analyze current pass rate, break in learning, and drop-out trends and project future requirements to ensure a robust pipeline of qualified early years professionals is in place. Develop and implement strategies to address any potential gaps or shortages in the workforce.
