Title: Local Skills Challenges, Collaborative Solutions Impact

Venue: cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens, Weedon Road, Northampton, NN5 5BG

Description: Local Skills Improvement Plans (LSIPs) were introduced in the Skills for Jobs White Paper in January 2021. The Skills for Jobs White Paper set out an ambitious plan to put employers more firmly at the heart of the skills system to help ensure businesses and people have the skills they need to thrive and progress. Each region has its own LSIP, there are currently 39 of them (soon to be 40 due to geographical and Local Authority boundary changes). Our LSIP identified eight regional priorities, and details the aims and objectives of the area’s specific key skills challenges and problems that we are trying to address/tackle in order to support local growth & productivity. It aims to drive change through cultural shift and developing and understanding of post-16 provision through the delivery of priorities and support for LSIF (Local Skills Improvement Fund) by regional stakeholders.
