SECTION 2: THE WORKFORCE STRATEGY <strong>IMPLEMENTATION</strong> <strong>PLAN</strong><br />
PRIORITY 1: UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF THE WORKFORCE<br />
1.1 ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES BY 2012: RATIONALE OF NEED REFLECTING EMPLOYERS’ VIEWS:<br />
There is a system in place that enables the early<br />
identification of work<strong>for</strong>ce gaps and shortage<br />
areas, based on a reliable picture of key work<strong>for</strong>ce<br />
characteristics and skills and training needs across<br />
all participating colleges and learning providers.<br />
There needs to be an evidence base of relevant data to identify and prioritise work<strong>for</strong>ce development activities within all<br />
organisations that together make up the sector. The rationale <strong>for</strong> collecting data, feedback on the intelligence it yields, and the<br />
work<strong>for</strong>ce development actions it prompts need to be communicated speedily and clearly to all Further Education colleges,<br />
work based learning (WBL) and adult and community learning (ACL) providers. They will be encouraged to provide data by<br />
strengthening the relationship between their data returns and access to relevant work<strong>for</strong>ce development support.<br />
