Recommendation 12

12

Devolved governments are crucial for national workforce planning, ensuring consistent quality and skill portability.

Conclusion
National workforce planning will need to be delivered beyond Whitehall and devolved levels of government have a crucial role to play. National plans need to recognise that delivery of the workforce may diverge according to local circumstance and need while providing both a consistent quality in career pathways, standards and training and a portability of skills across the UK’s nations.
