Skills Strategy 2020 to 2030
Stakeholders from across the city have come together, recognising the importance of skills for employment in helping residents and businesses to fully experience the benefits of York's enterprising, resilient and inclusive economy.
Whilst we continue to concentrate on post-pandemic recovery and prepare for opportunities like devolution we recognise an increased need to support people of all ages into work, to progress or change careers, and to ensure that businesses can access the skills and talent they need to diversify or grow.
Skills Strategy ambitions
From early years and throughout all life stages, York key anchor institutions and higher education providers offer residents the opportunity to learn the skills to weather economic shocks such as a global pandemic, as well as to thrive and support future sustainable growth and green jobs.
Skills Strategy targets
York will be among the top 25% local economies for skill levels as measured by percentage of working age population who are qualified to NVQ Level 4 or higher, requiring the proportion with Level 4+ qualifications to remain above 50%
There will be ladders of opportunity for people to move on from precarious, low-skilled and low-paid work.
