New Funding Resource Published for Workforce Development

The National Youth Council for Voluntary Services (NYCVS) has published the 5th edition of the Funding Guide for Workforce Development.

The guide is aimed at employers, training providers and learners who work with children, young people and families in the VCS. A new addition this year is a section devoted to funding schemes for training providers.
 
Co-author of the Funding Guide, NCVYS's Workforce Development Officer Nichola Brown said "Funding remains one of the biggest barriers to workforce development. Despite a difficult funding climate, we hope that organisations will be encouraged to use this guide to identify funding sources in order to submit funding applications to support learning and development costs. We also suggest low and no-cost alternatives to staff and volunteer workforce development, maximising the resources and expertise that already exists within the sector. In order to provide quality services to children, young people and families, organisations need a skilled workforce."
