Skills development crucial to NI voluntary sector
4th July 2008, 10:41 am
A report on the skills survey for the Northern Ireland voluntary and community sector, a collaboration between nine of the Sector Skills Councils and led by Skills for Justice and sector umbrella NICVA, found that ninety five per cent of sector organisations fall within the footprint of one or other of the Sector Skills Councils, with over half falling within two or more.
Other key findings include: Recruitment is difficult for organisations; Skills gaps exist across the sector; Current and future skills needs in relation to management and leadership are of particular importance.
