Aims and Objectives:

• Create a district-wide strategic group concerned with the planning and delivery of learning which will link in to other relevant groups, such as the North Norfolk Business Forum and health. This will produce a strategy around learning by looking at the needs of the District and prioritising actions for the short, medium and long term.

• Create a two way communications channel between businesses, other training users and learning providers, thus identifying skills needs and clarifying training provision and capability.

• Widen participation in training in North Norfolk.

Through encouraging partnership, the project will seek to maximise the current available provision at both a strategic and operational level:
 

• Strategic – identify the skills needs of the business community by converging with the Business Forum to dictate the skills agenda for North Norfolk. This will inform education providers active in North Norfolk so that the training provided aims to meet the needs of business.

• Operational – promote an effective next steps and other advice and guidance service so that individuals are able to find out what training is available to suit them.
