Values and Mission

The Development Manager is a values-driven organisation.

We are committed to helping close the productivity gap in the West Midlands and the United Kingdom, supporting the economy by responding to local and regional skills needs and increasing social mobility of the local population. We are committed to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children, young people and adults at risk. We deliver apprenticeships because we genuinely believe in the tremendous value of work-based learning, strive to achieve the highest educational standards and we always look to walk the walk, as well as talk the talk. 

To achieve this, we have identified our core focus and target as an organisation and the values that we live by to keep us on track supporting these aims.
