Our staff will be supported through the changes that digital opportunities present
To deliver change our workforce will be central to our success. This means ensuring that they are well equipped and confident in navigating the digital landscape. As part of our strategy we will:
- Support staff by presenting opportunities to develop their own skills and learn how to use the tools required for new ways working
- Keep staff up to date with the technology they use, ensuring they remain proficient and confident in their digital capabilities
- Develop robust workforce planning – upskilling our current employees and targeted recruitment to bring in new talent.
- Focus on key skills in project management and digital product development using the Digital and Data Progression Capability Framework to identify the roles, skills and competencies required for success.
- Support our education workforce. The National Professional Learning Entitlement, supported by Cardiff’s emphasis on professional growth, ensures practitioners have the skills to realise the digital ambitions of Cardiff 2030.
- Nurture future talent through trainee and apprenticeship opportunities within digital technology and transformation.
- Collaborate with universities and colleges to identify and develop potential talent.
