The Employment and Skills – Draft SPD will be a new tool that will enable the Council to ring-fence opportunities arising from development to benefit Dacorum’s residents, thereby generating additional social value. 

The SPD aims to increase local employment opportunities, help businesses to find suitable local staff and suppliers, improve the skills of local people, support businesses already located in Dacorum to grow and to attract new businesses into the area.
