CareTech, a leading provider of specialist health, care and education services, has been selected as one of the Top 100 Apprenticeships Employers in the UK. This prestigious recognition celebrates the outstanding apprenticeship employers and helps future apprentices, parents and career advisers to identify opportunities with the country’s leading employers.

The Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers list, first compiled in 2020, has been developed by the Department of Education in partnership with High Fliers Research. High Fliers Research independently assesses and ranks the nation’s top apprenticeship employers based on their commitment to employing apprentices, creation of new apprenticeship schemes, diversity of new apprentices and the number of people who complete their apprenticeships and progress further with the employer.

CareTech’s inclusion in the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers list is a testament to its dedication to creating meaningful learning experiences for apprentices and investing in the future of social care professionals.

We are further developing our strategy to increase the numbers of nurses and nurse associates in the sector as part of our ‘Grow Your Own Nurses’ Strategy. We would like to thank our partners for their support in achieving this position, especially our main provider DH Associates.”
