Up-skilling the Community Learning and Development (CLD) workforce
Update: September 2009
The Scottish Government is investing in developing the CLD workforce across Scotland. Resources have been identified for 2009-10 and 2010-11. Learning Connections has commissioned LLUK to manage the delivery of the first stage of the programme up until March 2010.
The Standards Council for CLD is leading work to establish a National CLD Workforce Development Strategy as a key part of the programme. A substantial portion of the £1M investment in 2009-10 will be available to the CLD Partnerships in the 32 local authority areas to develop local strategies for workforce development and improved access to CPD. Other early work includes mapping existing learning opportunities across Scotland and identifying the gaps.
Further information on the up-skilling programme is available on this site or contact either Christine Fitton at LLUK or the Learning Connections CLD team.
