The government has pledged support to voluntary sector organisations in delivering the Big Society, particularly in providing more public services and building strong communities. To rise to these challenges charities, social enterprises and other voluntary sector organisations need people with the right skills in the right numbers to make a difference.
Skills-Third Sector is holding a public consultation to develop a National Skills Strategy to support the creation of the kind of workforce needed for a professional and thriving voluntary sector and they want to hear from people who work for or volunteer with a social enterprise.
The consultation involves nine regional roundtables and an online consultation.
