Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has added new content to the Educators Training Resource programme to help educators in their role of supporting the careers of their junior colleagues.
The Supporting Career Conversations for Educators content can be found within the course, 06 – Guiding Personal and Professional Development as part of the Educators Training Resource Programme. The content sets out the rationale for providing careers support to more junior colleagues, trainees and learners and the value of this to the organisation.
The course introduces the underpinning principles of having supportive career-focussed discussions with junior colleagues and trainees. The course also offers some techniques, approaches and insights into best practice to better equip colleagues to support learners to help them move their careers forward in a satisfying direction.
The final session explores different ways individuals may make decisions about their careers, introduces a framework to help structure career conversations and demonstrates how even a five-minute conversation can make a positive difference to a colleague’s career.
The programme has several links to further resources to support this role.
The programme is available via the elfh Hub and the Electronic Staff Record (ESR).
