Welcome to Future Talent Leeds Firstly, thank you to everyone who contributed to the first on-line conversation. We gathered over 840 contributions in the form of ideas, comments and votes and have analysed these. We’d now like to present back to you what we heard to make sure that we got it correct. We’ve identified eight key areas on which to focus our efforts. Are these the right ones? Have a look and tell us what is strong, wrong or missing. In the first conversation we asked what participants thought were the current skills available in Leeds, what future skills requirements might look like, how Leeds could meet its aspirations and overcome its challenges in terms of skills and what the city could do to help with this.

Login How it works Our online conversation is similar to a traditional in-person workshop, but it’s more inclusive, accessible and transparent. We can also involve more people (not just those who can fit in a physical room), allowing us to hear from people across our City – everyone has a voice. The Future Talent Leeds conversation is: anonymous – your name is not attached to anything you share; open to all; accessible from wherever you may be – on any computer, tablet or smartphone; available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at any time to suit you; and open for all to read, rate and comment on each other's ideas.

What you can expect November This second conversation will be open for 3 weeks to give you chance to review our recommendations and provide your feedback. The conversation will close at 9am on Thursday 25th Nov. Spring 2022 Leeds City Council will use the outputs from the conversation to create a new Skills and Talent Plan for the city.
