Gail Muchajer - Work and Skills Co-ordinator

My role involves providing support to the Employment and Skills Board (ESB), as well as working across Cornwall Council on a range of employment and skills initiatives. I have a background in skills funding, having worked as an Account Adviser with the Skills Funding Agency where I worked in partnership with providers and stakeholders in the delivery of projects to raise skills levels both for employed and unemployed individuals in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Prior to this, my background was in Human Resources where my last role was as an HR Business Partner for the Manufacturing Function.  This role involved, amongst other duties, development of organisation business plans to support strategic operational need and development and implementation of a people development framework to ensure skills gaps were addressed and effective succession planning was in place.
