Opportunities Fife Partnership Workforce Modelling Report
Created: 03/11/2014
News/Events Category: General NewsThere is a growing acceptance across Scotland that the supply of appropriate skills and qualifications is an important driver of economic competitiveness through impacts on employee productivity and adaptability. Publicly funded education provision therefore needs to become more focussed on raising the long term employability of learners and meeting the employment and skills needs of employers. It is in this context that the Fife Economy Partnership and Opportunities Fife Partnership have commissioned this research, which sets out to deliver a bespoke workforce planning model for Fife.
The workforce planning model aims to provide robust labour market intelligence around the demand for and supply of skills in Fife, which can then inform partners’ decision-making on the most effective package of skills investment for promoting and supporting the long-term development of Fife’s economy.
The Workforce Plan recommends growth/action in the following six key sectors:
- Construction and civil engineering
- Energy and engineering/manufacturing
- Food and drink
- Health and care
- ICT and technology
- Tourism and hospitality
Further recommendations from the report include:
- Review Fife College Industry Advisory Boards
- Local groupings to take ownership of sectoral profiles
- Better recording and sharing of employer employment and skills needs
- Establish destinations of Fife learners
- More effective employer engagement
- Review the workforce model effectiveness annually
