Welcome to the Care Training Consortium
The functions of the Care Training Consortium (CTC) are diverse and comprehensive and predictably mirror the training and support needs of the independent care sector in West Sussex. To simplify its purpose succinctly:
- The CTC is a not-for-profit employer-led and learner centred organisation
- The CTC aims to provide a single point of access and will act as a broker to secure training and funding to support the independent care sector in West Sussex
- The CTC seeks to support quality provision to all service users through its commitment to care sector staff development
The overall aim of the Care Training Consortium is to support the independent care sector of West Sussex to meet the training requirements of the National Minimum Care Standards.
To meet this aim it:
- Works in close partnership with the independent care sector and organisations such as the Skills for Care (formerly TOPSS), CQC, Unison, EDI, Business Link, Sussex Enterprise and statutory agencies
- Conducts workforce development research to map the training needs of those working within the West Sussex care sector
- Builds links with a wide range of training providers to build quality training capacity that meets the training and development needs of those working within the care sector
- Bids for, and disburses, funding to support identified training and development needs
- Develops quality training by identifying specific training needs and piloting programmes to address those needs.
