Skills

Developing a Highland approach

To support a growing and resilient Highland economy, we need a workforce with the right skills for current and future jobs.

This project aims to develop a Highland-wide approach to employability and skills that:

  • meets the needs of local businesses and communities
  • aligns with national and local services
  • supports people into sustainable employment

Although this project is not directly funded through the City-Region Deal, it is a key part of the wider ambition to improve economic outcomes across the region.

Project lead - Andy McCann, The Highland Council
