Vanessa has extensive skills sector experience, at both operational and strategic level. She has served two terms as an elected SCTP Director and has worked in management roles within SCTP member organisations for over 10 years. Vanessa has overseen a broad range of government funded contracts including ESF, ESFA and DWP provision and has sat on a number of skills sector strategy groups, helping evolve the local skills landscape. She is passionate about the personal, social and economic value of education, and committed to supporting SCTP’s membership in her role as Executive Director.
