Learning and Sharing Skills

We believe at the heart of regional growth lies the development of organisations and their people.

At North West Employers our strategy is to support individuals, teams and organisations in developing the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed to meet the challenges ahead.

Here you will find information and guidance on a range of initiatives to:

• Support councillors in their role
• Help individuals and teams thrive
• Develop organisational cultures

We have also developed 'skills pools' to support regional collaboration and learning.

Declaration of commitment

• Having a statement of intent
• Ensuring that all councillors are made aware of training and development opportunities
• Having a process to identify individual development needs which involves councillors
• Having an officer allocated to assist councillors and groups in identifying needs and providing information on resources
• Having a strategy to meet the training and development needs of councillors
• Implementing the strategy locally

With councillors from our Regional Development Committee we work with each authority to evaluate their member development strategy and assess both the provision of development activity and the impact that it has for councillors and their communities.
