About the strategy
The Employability and Widening Access Strategy is about how we develop our workforce, and engage and develop the workforce of the future. It also highlights:
- our role as an anchor organisation
- how we work with our local communities and partners to develop plans to support key groups who may be facing barriers to employment
- create pathways for them to enter into employment
We have ambitious plans around:
- secondary school engagement across our Board area
- the development of apprenticeship opportunities across our job families
- developing widening access programmes to support those who may have struggled to access the labour market
