NCA's main focus is to provide easy to access, quality training opportunities which are designed to improve the skills of the workforce enabling the sector to deliver better quality care. That core activity remains at the centre of our business and provides the foundation of our offer to employers. Over the years, NCA has widened its remit to include management training and specialist workforce development programmes.
NCA also acts as a communication channel between the care sector and strategic organisations delivering the Skills Agenda which ensures the voice of the employer is represented at regional level.
