Given the pressures facing the community/voluntary sector, now more than ever, it is imperative that business skills can be utilized to assist community groups to be more sustainable in the longer term.

The Building on Talent programme helps employees identify and value their existing skills. It provides employees with a real and necessary project in a voluntary sector organisation to develop on existing strengths and weaknesses.  The programme gives employees hard evidence
to boost confidence in taking on new roles or activities. It also provides the employer with a unique sustaining method to support its corporate social responsibility
agenda by investing much needed expertise into the community sector of Northern Ireland.

From the community perspective, Building on Talent provides a unique opportunity to benefit from a range of business skills and expertise on a probono basis.
