Roger Higgins, Director of JTSH, writes: "

The education system is our region is fragmented, and this creates barriers for schools seeking to share with and support one other. While the offer of high-quality funded programmes from the Department is very welcome, we need to get schools and trusts talking about the bigger picture: their workforce development needs.

We are now talking to schools about how our offer can align with those needs; also where our offer needs to broaden in order to achieve this. This will involve commissioning programmes from a range of providers (including schools) across the region, and supporting those providers to design and deliver programmes to a high standard."
