The brief was not to produce an academic report but rather to analyse and distil the evidence into a ‘strategic project plan. A wide range of literature, interview, and anecdotal evidence was gathered, analysed, distilled and combined with the authors learning from several year’s workforce development experience, to propose the way forward per Priority Project.
