Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 2:12 pm on 2 November 2016.
The Government will be responsible for ensuring that there is a workforce in every area that can make the provision that we need for the future. I welcome the addition to the budget that we have now, to be able to develop a workforce for the future. The Member will be aware that the Cabinet Secretary, Kirsty Williams, has made a statement this morning to say that there is a working group looking at how we develop more workforce skills through the FE system. We do recognise that we need more skills, and that we have to do some workforce planning. The working group will be an important part of doing that.
