Part of NAVCA's role is to support skills and knowledge
development in local infrastructure organisations (LIOs). NAVCA
offers a number of learning opportunities, including traditional
training days, networking events, support for action learning sets,
as well as policy events where LIOs can gain the knowledge they
need to fulfil their role effectively.

NAVCA supporting LIOs in delivering learning opportunities

A number of NAVCA projects are open to discussion about
collaboration in the delivery of learning opportunities to the
local voluntary and community sector. These include the public law
project and the full cost
recovery project. If you offer learning opportunities to
development workers from other LIOs the
SKiLD project would
like to hear from you.
NAVCA is involved in influencing learning policy through
involvement in the UK
Workforce Hub and the Learning and Skills Council, as well as
other strategic
work.
