In the context of skills development, capacity building means developing the workforce we need now but more importantly, also understanding what skills we might need in the future and developing the training necessary to deliver them. Using examples from the work of CIfA and partners on the HLF funded Training Bursaries and Skills for the Future programmes, this paper will outline why a more strategic, sector-wide approach to training and skills development is vital if our profession is to develop and thrive in the future.
