How have local businesses, education providers, local authorities and employer representatives been getting involved with the Local Skills Improvement Plans (LSIPs), how has it benefited them so far, and why do they think it's so important for other organisations to have their say?
Naomi Logan, Head of Employment and Skills at the West of England Combined Authority, emphasizes the importance of engaging with the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP). She explains that this engagement has been crucial in directly informing the Authority's programmes. By understanding the region's skills needs through the LSIP, the Authority can develop initiatives that are more aligned with the local economic landscape. Naomi highlights that this approach helps equip the workforce with relevant skills, supporting both individual employability and business growth.
