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.
