Employment & Skills
The overall vision for the Employment, Learning and Skills theme is to help support employers to have a highly skilled, adaptable workforce equipped for the modern economy and to get more people into better jobs in better businesses.
Employment, learning and skills are key drivers of economic success and to be able to compete in a global economy, employers need a workforce with the appropriate skills. Individuals also need access to a range of opportunities that will equip them with the qualifications and skills to make our businesses more competitive and improve our overall quality of life.
Sub regional priorities are to ensure that Derby and Derbyshire has a better skilled workforce through:
- Increasing business engagement in workforce development
- Increasing the numbers achieving recognised qualifications at/or equivalent to NVQ levels 2 and above
- Maximise skills, particularly amongst the SME business community, in leadership, management and entrepreneurship
- Improving the quality of the facilities and access to learning
- Reducing barriers to training for businesses in key sub regional sectors
- Increasing knowledge in the use of ICT for business and learning
- Encourage the retention of graduates through practical work placements and employment programmes
- We provide support in key sectors where workforce and management development is most needed, as well as increasing the overall effectiveness of Derbyshire's business and their ability to innovate.
