ASC publishes “Skills for the Future” research report

07-11-2006

Skills for the Future examines the European skills issue around sustainable place making and explores solutions to the skills gap that exists. The research report will be discussed at the upcoming European Skills for Sustainable Communities Symposium in Leeds on 9-10 November.

The research provides the learning for improving skills in the creation of successful places and demonstrates that there is a widespread interest in, and commitment to, creating and maintaining successful places.

The research is valuable for a number of different groups:

For practitioners, it offers insights into different approaches to developing sustainable communities, good practice and lessons which can be shared.
For policy-makers, it highlights different ways in which the skills and capacity needed for successful implementation of policies and programmes to improve places and build new ones can be addressed.
For people living in communities who want to play their part in ensuring place-making programmes are successful, there are insights into different approaches to involve citizens and empower them to engage fully in partnerships.
