YouthLink Scotland’s Youth Work Training and Workforce Development Forum is a national network focusing on the strategic development of workforce and training for the youth work sector. It is also a space to share practice, identify sector priorities and address common challenges.
Recent achievements include refreshing the National Youth Work Induction Checklist as an agreed minimum standard of training for volunteers and staff in youth work.
We connect with partner organisations to strengthen youth work’s professional frameworks and the opportunities and quality of training for the sector.
This year the priorities of the forum include:
Co-Chairs:
Michele Meehan, Head of Youth Work Programmes and Quality Improvement, Youth Scotland
Theresa Marsili, Lead Officer for CLD and Youth Work Manager, Stirling Council
Secretariat:
Liz Green, Workforce and Practice Manager, YouthLink Scotland
