Skills investment plan for Scotland’s tourism sector
English
Employers' organizations
Employers invest in training in order to improve productivity, innovate and adopt new technologies, and compete in changing markets. Case studies and research from individual employers and associations of employers on the Global KSP deal with apprenticeship and workplace skills provision, quality assurance and governance of training institutions, and employers’ roles in anticipating skill needs and in influencing national and sector policies on skills development.
Governments
Governments hold a wealth of knowledge on skills development, and are increasingly realizing the value of learning from each others’ experiences. Their policy documents, programme evaluations, and research findings contain their experience and ideas on how to better link skills to employment
Sectoral approaches
Matching skills to labour market demand requires reliable sectoral and occupational information and institutions that connect employers with training providers. Sector based strategies and institutions have proved effective in engaging all stakeholders in promoting both pre-employment training and life-long learning.
National policies and initiatives
National legislation, policies and initiatives on the issue of training and skills development and the world of work.
In this plan, consultations with tourism employers, stakeholders and partners have identified four strategic skills priorities:
-Improving management, leadership and enterprise in the sector
-Ensuring staff have the skills to deliver a high quality visitor experience
-Raising the attractiveness of the sector to new entrants
-Ensuring the availability of appropriate and high quality training
