What happens to your apprentices when life throws them a curveball? 🤔

At SRSCC, we believe a training provider should offer more than just a syllabus. They need to offer genuine support.

Victoria Murden, Supply Chain Manager at York St John University, recently shared her experience partnering with us to upskill her procurement team.

Here is what she had to say about the SRSCC difference:

"Excellent service and great support, especially when things change. They facilitated a pause when life threw something unexpected for one of my apprentices and continued check ins to ensure she was okay. My apprentices are happy and feel supported."

Because her team members feel valued, they are absolutely thriving.

Victoria noted that her apprentices have progressed from booking travel to managing entire tenders from start to finish, applying their classroom theory directly to their daily roles. 📈

When you choose an apprenticeship provider, ensure they care as much about your team as you do. 🤝

Do you truly see your learners, or do you only see their assessment outcomes?

For Learning Disability Week 2026, the official theme is .

It is a vital prompt for the professional training and apprenticeship sector. Learning disabilities and neurodivergent traits are not always visible on a Teams call or in a crowded training room.

True inclusion across education is not about applying generic adjustments or ticking a compliance box. It is about actively supporting individual needs so every professional can thrive.

In this video, Megan Pepper, Learning Engagement Mentor at SRSCC, shares practical, actionable adjustments that the wider training sector should be embedding into daily delivery:

👉 Clear and concise communication: Deliver instructions without unnecessary jargon.

👉 Information chunking: Break complex training frameworks down into manageable sections.

👉 Processing time: Allow extra time for learners to absorb information and respond.

👉 Meeting transparency: Share notes after workshops or meetings rather than putting individuals on the spot.

By shifting the industry standard from "What is the diagnosis?" to "What works best for you?", we ensure learners are not just present, but heard, valued, and involved in their own educational journeys.

Is your procurement team unintentionally building barriers for neurodivergent talent?

With as many as 1 in 3 professionals estimated to have some form of additional learning or cognitive need, modern supply chain leaders cannot afford to overlook neurodiversity. Sensory overload or subtle communication differences can directly impact team performance, workplace wellbeing, and your overall retention rates.

Tomorrow at 1pm, we are going live with another session of our highly requested interactive webinar: Managing Neurodiversity in the Workplace.

Led by Laura Coffey, SENDCo and Learning Engagement Manager at SRSCC, this live session will bypass theoretical ideas to give you immediate, real world strategies to support your team.
