Economic Development Partnership Team
The Alliance is supported by a public, private and voluntary/community sector partnership which is responsible for taking forward Economic Development in Clackmannanshire.
Building Clackmannanshire: Economic Development Framework 2008-2018 lays out the context for economic development in the county, the challenges and the priorities at the heart of action which will be taken in pursuit of the relevant outcomes in the Single Outcome Agreement.
The Economic Development Partnership Team has identified the following key action areas to build Clackmannanshire's economy:
- Building connections and infrastructure
- The new rail link, the new Clackmannanshire Bridge and high-speed broadband access will link Clackmannanshire more closely to the national and international economy. We now need to be alert to initiatives that unlock their full economic benefits to provide an east/west gateway for Scotland.
- Building enterprise
- The size and vitality of the local business base are key to generating sustainable economic growth. We will ensure that enterprises can access the blend of support they need to hone their competitive edge.
- Building skills
- Our enterprises gain their edge from the skills, talents and creativity of their people. We need the right skills for gaining and sustaining work; we need the right quality and mix of skills in work. We will develop the personal, core and technical skills for employment within and outwith Clackmannanshire.
- Building confidence
- Vital to the success of our Framework is a Clackmannanshire-wide belief that we can compete and prosper; we will need to promote our advantages to the rest of Scotland and beyond. We will focus on increasing the national profile and perception of Clackmannanshire.
