Workforce Development Strategy

The National Archives (TNA) seeks to commission a piece of work to scope and create a workforce development strategy for the archives sector. Delivery of the strategy will be led by TNA as archives sector lead, in collaboration with a network of partners across the information, culture and heritage sectors.

The project will create a workforce development strategy with a framework of programmes to be delivered over the following four years. This strategy will be created by:  Identifying a model for a diverse, skilled, flexible and confident workforce to capitalise on the opportunities set out in our vision, Archives Unlocked.  Benchmarking the current workforce against this model, and identify key challenges, barriers and opportunities for development.  Drafting a framework of a limited number of workstreams or core programmes to support workforce development.  Identify existing and planned initiatives across the information, culture and heritage sectors that we could work with, and identify potential partner bodies and funders.
