The LSIP provides a summary of:
• The key sectors driving the economy and future growth
• The main skills challenges facing employers
• Current activity and collaboration across employers, providers and local partners
• Priority actions to improve access to training and strengthen workforce development
• Opportunities linked to major investments and emerging industries
For Gloucestershire, it highlights the importance of aligning skills activity with the county’s strengths in cyber and digital, advanced manufacturing and engineering, construction, health and social care, low carbon, agriculture and the wider everyday economy, while also strengthening the essential skills, confidence, behaviours and work readiness that employers consistently identify as critical across all sectors.
The LSIP is an important resource to keep you updated on the evolving skills landscape in Gloucestershire.
We hope you find it informative and useful.
Since their inception in 2021, the LSIPs have given employers a stronger voice in shaping local skills priorities. These reports are not an end point; they are a platform for continued action. Employers have been clear about the skills, behaviours and training access they need to grow, adapt and invest with confidence. Our role now is to help keep those conversations alive, strengthen collaboration across the system, and ensure local skills delivery continues to respond to real economic need.
