Join us for a focused session to preview and sense-check the emerging findings and priority skills needs identified through the Gloucestershire Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIPs).
LSIPs align post-16 education with employer needs by identifying priority skills gaps and coordinating action across providers and partners.
Business West Chambers of Commerce leads the LSIP for Gloucestershire, working with employers, providers and partners to ensure provision reflects labour market demand and supports economic growth.
Structured around our core thematic areas, including sector priorities, workforce transitions, skills pipeline development, and system enablers, we will present headlines of the report we have written for the region. We will then ask for feedback, amends or questions to what we've reported and the actions agreed for the region.
Together, we will refine the identified skills needs and confirm the priority actions required to respond effectively, ensuring delivery is targeted, collaborative, and impactful.
Your input will directly shape the final LSIP priorities and help ensure they reflect real employer demand, support learners at key transition points, and enable a more responsive and integrated skills system.
