As part of its new Strategic Plan for 2015 – 2018 released on Monday 17th November, the DPC will help members develop competent and responsive workforces by providing skills, training and professional development.

“We will provide tangible outcomes to our members in the form of training,” explains Head of Training and Development for the DPC, Sharon McMeekin. “We will also encourage the proliferation of high-quality training by others and support colleges and universities seeking to develop curricula in digital preservation too.”

The DPC also aims to provide authoritative labour market intelligence for employers, students and teachers alike, enhancing the relevance of training and extending the competence of staff. In this way the Coalition hopes to become a forum for detailed and timely knowledge exchange between members for the benefit of all.

By realising its goals, the intention of the Strategic Plan is to sustain the Coalition’s vision to ‘make our digital memory accessible tomorrow.’
