PUTTING EMPLOYERS AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE SKILLS AGENDA!

...
Marches Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIPs) is a Department of Education project to understand the skills shortages, training needs and barriers faced across the Marches (Herefordshire, Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin). Led by Shropshire Chamber.
...
In LSIP Stage 1 (2023/4) we interviewed 663 businesses across the Marches, their collective voices made change happen and that brought funding for new courses and facilities to meet some of the identified key skills needs. From listening to business, it is also clear many do not fully understand the educational and business support landscape, the language or the offer.

YOUR VOICE will help us to simplify the information, aid stakeholders to support and signpost in a way that can be fully understood, alongside highlighting your ongoing skills shortages or training needs.
