SFHA partners with SDS to deliver Skills for Growth in housing

As part of our ongoing work on Routes to Housing, SFHA has partnered with Skills Development Scotland to deliver a programme for the social housing sector. Funding has been secured for 10–15 housing associations and co-operatives to participate in the Skills for Growth programme for the next three years.

What is Skills for Growth?

Skills for Growth is a fully funded skills support programme for small and medium sized employers run by Skills Development Scotland (SDS), the national skills agency.

Employers benefit from having their own dedicated adviser from SDS and a specialist consultant who helps make the best use of your management skills, assess the skills of your staff and work with training providers to fill the gaps.

Benefits for employers

• Increased performance
• Build confidence
• Manage change
• Support employees

Upcoming Virtual Workshop

We will be holding a Virtual Workshop with Skills Development Scotland’s Skills for Growth team on Tuesday 22 June, which will soon be available for booking.  Ahead of the webinar, we are looking to capture the key areas of support need in terms of skills and development in your organisations in order to provide relevant support for you.

Please indicate on our short form which themes you believe your organisation would most benefit from further support on.  The results of our survey will inform the topics included in our upcoming webinar.
