WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
The national survey, which included more than 30 case studies, highlights the positive impact of EYPS in supporting workforce development. Over three quarters of those surveyed said that gaining the status had increased their personal professional development. Those with less than three years experience were most positive about this, while those who were owner/managers were somewhat less so.
Overall, just under 50 per cent of EYPs were found to routinely lead CPD activities in their settings, with one fifth of mainly more experienced EYPs routinely leading activities outside.
Those at the earlier stages of their careers rated the impact of gaining EYPS on their career prospects most highly. This was particularly in relation to gaining employment and improving their careers in their existing settings.
