EM4.6: Training, Skills and Professional Development

The Council will work with its partners and use development obligations to require major developments to provide appropriate employment and training initiatives for local people.

To achieve this, major development proposals will be required to submit a training, skills and employment strategy, in agreement with the Council, which demonstrates:

  • Training programmes and apprenticeships provided on new development sites and/or as part of new development;
  • Fair tender opportunities offered to local small and medium-sized enterprises and social enterprises; and
  • Opportunities offered to local businesses in their supply chains.
