Understanding Local Skills Improvement plans

OVERVIEW

 
 

What does the future hold for local skills decision-making?

Following their inclusion in the FE White Paper, Local Skills Improvement Plans (LSIPs) aim to address concerns that employers do not currently have enough influence over local skills priorities, meaning some sectors are facing significant skills and labour shortages. But what do they mean in reality for providers?

This webinar will provide a useful overview of LSIPS, covering AELP’s policy position, information on the eight trailblazer pilots, and what this will mean for providers as the plans roll out nationally.
