Who we are
We are committed to building a stronger more sustainable voluntary and community sector in the county.
Our HCF Training & Development team provides workforce development and capacity-building for the voluntary sector. We aim to maximise access to learning and employment opportunities for the county's most disadvantaged individuals by building the capacity of organisations who support these clients.
Our projects and services:
With the right skills and leadership Hertfordshire's voluntary sector will be better equipped to meet local need in a sustainable manner and provide real changes to the lives of local people. Here is how HCF Training and Development can help to achieve that.
