IEs and PAs training and development

What is this?

This is a short video from Skills for Care that explores how Individual Employers (IEs) can access funding to support their Personal Assistants (PAs) training and development. Employers share how they have used the Individual Employer Training Fund to provide bespoke, tailored training that supports retention and staff wellbeing, confidence and progression in the PA role as well as safe working environments.

In the video employers describe how group training helps their PAs feel less isolated, particularly when they are doing shift work in a 'tag team' arrangement as they rarely meet each other. It also includes reflections from PAs themselves who explain how training builds their confidence, validates their knowledge and strengthens their professional identity. Much more is shared in the video including how training can be life-changing and transformative for both PAs and employers. We encourage you to watch the full video to gain a better understanding of how training and development can positively impact both PAs and Employers.
