4 mins read Professionalism/career development
New research has revealed that a huge 81 per cent of workers in the healthcare industry are interested in learning new work skills in 2022, over-indexing against the nation’s average of 70 per cent.

The new Censuswide survey of over 4,000 of the UK’s workforce showed a clear national appetite for skills development and indicated that employees are hungry to learn more and progress further in their careers this year compared to 2021 – with 69 per cent wanting increased job satisfaction in 2022 and 67 per cent feeling that gaining new skills will be key to achieving their work goals.

Over a quarter (27 per cent) of workers said that progression and opportunities to learn were paramount goals in their working life.

This research coincides with the launch of the government campaign which urges employers to ‘join the skills revolution’, aiming to help businesses across a wide range of industries gear up for economic recovery by skilling up their workforce. The campaign highlights the range of training and employment schemes available for businesses wanting to boost their workforce capabilities, including apprenticeships, traineeships and T levels.
