Employment & Skills is a service in the Place Directorate. Place Directorate is one of the most varied directorates of Kirklees Council - covering major development and infrastructure projects, business and economy, skills for employment, planning, housing growth, Highways, Streetscene and our own council housing through Homes & Neighbourhoods and more recently environment strategy and climate. Through all these services we shape Kirklees as Place, securing positive outcomes and making sure it’s a great location to live, work and visit.

We are committed to developing the skills and employment opportunities of people who live in Kirklees and helping employers access the workforce they need to grow. We create opportunities for local people to gain the skills and attributes to get the best jobs possible by linking employers with those skills. This leads to thriving businesses, an increase in earning potential, and, in turn, an improved quality of life for Kirklees residents. By working in partnership with Kirklees Third Sector partners, we attract funding into the district and deliver services via those partners who are best placed to deliver. We also deliver employment and skills programmes ourselves and when appropriate will commission and empower partners to deliver on our behalf.

Our work is guided by and contributes to the delivery of the Kirklees Employment & Skills Plan: ‘Aspire, Achieve & Include’. This plan was developed in collaboration with key partners across the district and outlines a number of partnership-based actions and priorities with a collaborative approach to achieving these.
