A skilled workforce is vital to the economic success of the borough.
Our new Skills Action Plan aims to ensure:
- everyone has the skills needed to get the jobs that will be created in Chesterfield in the next few years
- training meets the needs of those employers and the jobs they create
- more residents have higher level skills so they can get better quality jobs
- clauses are put in planning permissions for large development schemes that require local people to get a fair share of the jobs and training opportunities created
- clear advice is given to local people and employers about what skills training is available
