Training and Development of Economic Development Staff

Effective Investment Promotion in competitive economies require the delivery organisation to have a range of differing skill sets, through strategy development, sales, marketing, project delivery, investor care, and proposition development as minimum requirements for effective operations.
With local leaders recognising the need to provide greater place making and promotional support locally and to national bodies, there is more emphasis on upskilling local teams to enable them to function effectively. This means a greater requirement to develop new skills and capabilities within the teams, rather than relying on expensive outsourced service solutions.
