Our Strategic Objectives:
Leadership – we will articulate our leadership role in the sector, managing the intricacies of our interface role, and make those interventions visible across all sectors. At the same time, we will develop our leadership role both nationally and politically. We will also develop the leadership roles of our staff team.
Development – we will be a vehicle for changing social outcomes, driving and implementing solutions based on our own and others research findings. It is our intention to embed a broad-based ‘Development Agency’ approach, building capacity and skills across the sector, therefore raising the reputation and the profiles of many of Edinburgh’s voluntary organisations.
Advocacy – we have a key influencing role in working with the voluntary and community sector and in bridging and brokering the relationships with our public sector partners. This is a unique and challenging role that informs, engages and communicates these different interests and priorities and one which we aim to strengthen.
All our courses are available at our training centres or on-site at your premises, with the exception of the overhead crane course, which we must carry out on-site with you.
