Training, learning and development

At Rotherham Council, we are committed to supporting employee learning and development as well as apprenticeship training. We believe that it is vital to have a flexible, innovative and high-performing workforce, one that is equipped with the necessary skills, knowledge and behaviours to meet both the current and future needs of the Council.

Our employees have access to appropriate learning opportunities in order to develop the skills and knowledge they need to work effectively and efficiently, both face-to-face (where possible) and online. The Council’s values are embedded within learning and development activities and as an organisation, we promote a culture of independent and continuous learning as well as continuous professional development.

A key aspect of the Council’s approach to learning and development is the ‘My Year Ahead Plan’ which plays a critical role in delivering the Council's Corporate Plans and Priorities and helping employees access learning and in work career progression

The Council also offers a range of apprenticeship training across a range of professions and job roles for both new starters and existing employees.

As a Council, we are keen to encourage residents to develop their skills and apply for employment and careers within the council. Below are some organisations that can assist with choosing a career, skills development and applying for jobs.
