Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Healthcare Employer Skills Academy
The Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Healthcare Employer Skills Academy was launched in September 2025. The academy is based at our City Campus, allowing students to enhance their college studies. This academy allows our T-Level students to work closely with representatives from the trust, in order to develop their professional industry knowledge and gain an insight into the various roles available within the industry.
The students in this academy will be able to undertake an employer-led programme of workshops, masterclasses and inspiring employability skills training sessions throughout their course to transform their life through learning. The students will be given the opportunity to learn from and demonstrate their skills throughout their time in the academy to enhance their self-development and prepare them for life in the healthcare sector.
This academy inspires students who are unsure of their career path, with an insight into the various healthcare roles that are available. The students will undertake their learning in a Sheffield Teaching Hospitals branded ward, complete with an array of interactive equipment and real-life scenarios that they may face in the working world.
The students will cover an array of subjects with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals such as:
