The Vocational Training Framework is part of the Joined Up for Business strategy within Capital City Partnership.  

Capital City Partnership is the anchor delivery body for Edinburgh’s employability strategy, working together to tackle inequality and poverty.  Capital City Partnership's key tasks are to advise, support and develop the city’s Jobs Strategy, and to contract, performance manage and improve outcomes from funded employability services. 

Capital City Partnership is also a key stakeholder and delivery partner in the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal, supporting the Integrated Regional Employability and Skills (IRES) programme. As a result of this, Capital City Partnership's work takes an increasingly regional approach.
