National Training Platform Discovery Session: 10th November 2025.

In partnership, with COSLA and SPDS, we’re assessing options for a National Training Platform (LMS) to support workforce development across Scotland’s councils including NES’s Turas platform and Cornerstone’s platform.  

We're hosting an information and co-development session where we will explore: 

Progress Updates:  

  • Turas: Engagement with NES on platform refresh and suitability for cross-sector use. 
  • Cornerstone: Discovery sessions held; proposal and opportunity review 
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Input from COSLA, SPDS, NHS, and local authorities. 

Next Steps:  

  • Invite councils to help shape requirements and co-create content. 
  • Co-develop the business case and include any existing platforms/models to be considered 
  • Gather input from those with LMS experience or reviewing training platforms. 

If you are involved in the procurement, maintenance and development of you Learning Management System (LMS) platform and content creation, we would value your participation and insights. 

Date and Time: Monday 10th November 2025,  1:30pm - 3pm, Microsoft Teams
