Funding workforce development

One of the biggest barriers to workforce development is funding. On behalf of the Catalyst consortium, NCVYS is pleased to provide the 5th edition of the Funding Guide for Workforce Development (PDF version January 2012). It is aimed at employers, training providers and learners who work with children, young people and families in the VCS.

Future funding announcements related to workforce development will be placed within NCVYS's Funding Update or NCVYS's workforce development e-bulletin Snippets. Sign-up to receive Snippets by emailing mail@ncvys.org.uk

NCVO has created a useful resource >> Funding and Costing Workforce and Governance Development which provides a toolkit consisting of templates and budget processes.

Results of the open tender process - training partnerships

Following an open tender process the Catalyst partnership has selected three voluntary sector-led training partnerships for investment in the growth and sustainability of their training enterprises. Please see the news release. 

NCVYS is to work with a small number of voluntary sector-led training partnerships working across a number of local authority areas, to increase their ability to bid/tender for skills funding from a range of sources and develop a more sustainable business model.
