Opportunity, Skills and Training Working Group
This working group is producing a consultation paper for Spring Conference 2023 and the final paper will be ready for Autumn Conference 2024.
The remit of this group is to review the party’s policies on Opportunities and Skills, and make updated proposals which communicate our values of liberty, equality, democracy, community, internationalism and environmentalism in a way which helps secure the election of as many Liberal Democrats as possible, at local, regional and national level, in order to promote our vision of society.
The group's remit is set out here. You can find the consultation paper here.
