4. Keynote: The Emerging Skills Network
Summary
Following the government response to the Communities and Local Government Select Committee Report: The Future of Public Parks (Sept 2017), recent work by The Parks Action Group investigated how skills in the sector should develop. Using a skills matrix can assist in identifying current skills and experience, as well as gaps and potential risks. Examine the Emerging Skills Matrix in this session, which shows the range of skills required is substantial and ever evolving; from entrepreneurship, marketing and influencing to demonstrating value for the community and other services, as well as maintaining horticultural skills and environmental stewardship.
