Brownfield skills
The Draft Brownfield Skills Strategy has been developed following extensive research and consultation surrounding the barriers that prevent or hinder the reuse of brownfield land. Throughout this background work one key issue was repeatedly identified – the lack of people with ‘brownfield’ skills.
Draft Brownfield Skills Strategy
The Draft Brownfield Skills Strategy is available for public consultation for the period 4 March 2008 – 27 May 2008.
The 25 recommendations are the result of joint working between English Partnerships and the Academy for Sustainable Communities.
The draft strategy has four objectives:
- Changing attitudes towards skills
- Encouraging cross-disciplinary working
- Raising the profile of brownfield careers
- Promoting a common framework for skills development
