Centre for Workforce Development

The Centre for Workforce Development will establish a culture of system working by default.  Our ambition is that all workforce development activity will be commissioned, managed and delivered at place level, unless there is a good reason to do this on a different footprint. 

We want to work together to support those furthest from work to access health and social care careers; to offer “good jobs”; to improve equality, diversity and inclusion and career development opportunities; and, to support and develop the health and social care workforce.

The Centre for Workforce Development is however still in its infancy and continues to be developed collaboratively across the district. A DRAFT business plan for the Centre has been developed, but discussions are ongoing and this will be updated on a regular basis as the shape of the Centre becomes more certain.  We have also identified some key new projects we need to focus on during 2020/21 alongside the great system work that is already in progress.  All this activity for 2020/21 can be viewed in the Centre's DRAFT delivery plan.
