Hertfordshire's Skills & Employment Strategy is a high-level plan to increase and develop the capacity of our current and future workforce.

The Hertfordshire Skills & Employment Strategy helps ensure that the county’s workforce and future labour market are best equipped to meet employers’ needs.

Produced by Hertfordshire Futures, in partnership with key skills and employment stakeholders, it complements Hertfordshire's Economic Strategy, to drive impact across digital creativity, productivity, inclusion, and innovation.

The strategy is due to be updated in 2026.
