Once the ICT system had been upgraded the annual plan for 2007/8 was due to be produced. Training on Microsoft Project took place with the IS Department in February 2007, however the system was too resource intensive. The Workshop Manager is working with the IS Manager to produce an alternative solution.

Once produced, evidence to be provided to Performance Review Team. This will follow from item 1 above.

CFOA have agreed to offer an apprenticeship scheme and Alan House has offered his services to support this.

Due to the delay in using the planning tool, the skills assessment will be carried out now independently ready for a new system. This will be prepared by the Workshop Manger by 12/09/2007, and reported to the Performance Review Team.
