CVS Fife's Training Project is Funded through Fife's CPP ESF Priority 5 Project titled: Fife Employability Pathway.

About the Project

Our training project: Learning and Training: Supporting Entry, Progression and Employee Retention in the Voluntary Sector focuses on Stages 5 of Fife's employability pathway and in particular on:

• Support to help employee retention
• Up-skilling the workforce
• Provision of business skills for social enterprise

Key Target Group

The training project is aimed at people primarily in work within Fife's voluntary sector who would benefit from the opportunity to increase their skills/knowledge/qualification base.

Over the last ten years we has been working with Community Planning Partners, including the Further Education Sector, to provide training and learning opportunities for employees in the Voluntary Sector to gain the skills, knowledge, qualifications(s) and recognition which enables them to progress and at the same time to create entry level opportunities.

The success of the Training Project to date has been heavily dependent upon matching the training and learning needs of the voluntary sector, particularly in relation to progression, with appropriate training providers.

Programme

We have received requests for training that has not featured in previous programmes. Where possible, we have included some of the courses requested and will continue to do so in future programmes.

We do understand that there may be other training needs that the sector requires and we ask that if you feel this is the case please get in touch with us. We will listen to what you are saying and try to meet your needs. From time to time we run training surveys to help us focus on content for future training programmes - your help in completing these surveys is always valued.

For an organisation to prosper, grow and move with the times it must invest in its development and staff through training. Meeting your aims and reaching your potential goes hand-in-hand with sustainability and growth. We hope you take advantage of some of these new training opportunities and also let us know what other opportunities you would like to see provided through the project.
