People and skills

We have supported local skills accountability boards in Doncaster and Sheffield. Building relationships with a range of education, employers, community and council stakeholders to bring together a local skills strategy that will:

• Ensure local colleges, universities and training providers offer education and training that match employers' needs.
• Provide employers with the skilled workforce to offer great sport and physical activity opportunities that are inclusive, meet the needs of diverse local communities, and drive business success.
• Give the people who work in sport and physical activity great career pathways.
