Sector
Local government
As we plan services in a post-pandemic world, local government services, and those delivering them, will need to be agile, with a broad range of skills and competencies to meet future public expectations.
Our team of nationally leading public service skills experts understand how to evaluate, plan for and develop a workforce that meets the growing and complex needs of local service users.
Our thorough sector knowledge combined with a proven approach to workforce development delivers true value from strategy through to implementation. Whether your population needs are simple or complex, we can be relied upon to deliver training and assessment solutions that work – and equip your staff to provide exceptional services for the public.

What our clients say
“Our project was about trying to bring more rigour in. Checking what skills everybody needs, and making sure we’ve supported them in getting those skills. The ambition in working with Skills for Justice was accreditation – to design a bespoke customised certificate of achievement in inspectorate skills.”
What our clients say
“The Skills for Justice consultancy experts helped us, but also allowed us to speak when we needed to change things. They completely understood the needs of the sector, but most importantly, they understood how to accommodate the learning requirements within the really restrictive environments that we work in.”
