Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP)
Led by Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce and funded by the Department for Education.
What is the LSIP?
Local Skills Improvement Plans are designed to set out the key changes needed in a local area to make technical skills training more responsive to employers’ needs.
LSIPs will:
- Place employers at the heart of local skills systems.
- Facilitate direct and dynamic working arrangements between employers and providers.
- Provide an agreed set of actionable priorities that employers, providers and stakeholders in a local area can get behind to drive change.
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough’s Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) is funded by the Department for Education and independently led by Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce.
With support from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority – the LSIP represents an exciting approach to addressing skills gaps and identifying best practice in the region.
It’s time for employers of all sizes to get involved and help influence the skills landscape for businesses across the region.
