Subject: LLUK Focus Groups - The
strategic direction and development of the libraries, archives and information
services workforce!
Dear colleague
Are you responsible for
the strategic direction and development of your workforce?
If so, these are exciting times and LLUK
would like you to attend to a focus group to explore and discuss research
findings relating to current and future workforce skills issues. In
addition we wish to consult with you as part of revising the National
Occupational Standards for the sector. These 2 events, planned as part of
the MLA/ LLUK Strategic Partnership Agreement, will take place on Monday 26th February
at the Royal
Armouries in Leeds and on Tuesday 27th February
at HMS Belfast in
LLUK, the Sector Skills Council for the lifelong
learning workforce aims to ensure that lifelong
learning employers can recruit, retain and develop highly skilled and effective
staff, so that everyone in the UK across all industry sectors are able to gain
access to the skills and knowledge needed to build a prosperous and inclusive
society.
Within
the next 12 months LLUK will have completed the Sector Skills Agreement process
and will be developing action plans relating to our sector's priority skills
needs. LLUK is working in partnership with MLA and through a network of
contacts to ensure that this work accurately represents the skills required by those working in libraries, archives and information
services and will identify the types of skills gaps that exist
and give us the information needed to plan for future workforce
development. These focus groups will give you the opportunity to become
engaged in this process and ensure that the LLUK action plans reflect your priority
skills and workforce development issues.
There
will also be an update on progress on the Standards Development work from over
the last 10 months and a discussion and presentation on the outcomes of the
consultation events held during 2006.
Both
of the workshops will start at 10.00am and finish at 2.30pm including lunch and
refreshments.
If
you and/or colleagues wish to attend could you please complete and return the
attached response form to [log in to unmask]
by Wednesday 21st
February 2007. In addition, LLUK would
appreciate your support in promotion of these events through your own networks.
Thank
you for your support.
