The aims of the workstream are to:

  • enhance delivery of frontline advice services through increased awareness of how to address workforce development and training needs
  • expand the availability of appropriate workforce development and training solutions for the sector
This is going to be achieved by:
  • establishing a central register of approved trainers that organisations can access to support their workforce development and training requirements
  • delivering a programme of manager training that will include workforce  development awareness and competency assessment toolkits
  • creating a web portal for training resources and information
  • developing a national programme of skills and knowledge training including cross-sector training materials for new entrants to the sector
  • supporting further development of a qualifications and accreditation framework for the sector
