Support the Local Skills Improvement Plans
The Norfolk and the Suffolk Chambers of Commerce are working with the Department for Education (DfE) to put employers at the heart of the skills agenda with the launch of the Norfolk and Suffolk Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP.)
We want you as a business to have a bigger say in what skills are needed in the workplace for today, tomorrow and the future.
What will the Norfolk and Suffolk LSIP focus on?
We are aware that across Norfolk and Suffolk there are some great initiatives – but the majority are operating in silos and many employers are not aware of them – we see the LSIPs role is being to support the alignment of this skills activity. We are not wanting to re-invent the wheel and we are aiming to join some of the dots. In other words, how do we enhance what is working well and how do we fill any gaps?
Key Sectors / Cross Cutting Themes:
We need to concentrate on a couple of key areas for Norfolk and Suffolk and to run cross-cutting themes. Given the timescales, we want to focus on some key sectors where we can make a significant impact quickly, so we are looking at a focus in the following areas:
- Agri-Tech / Food Processing sector
- Climate Adaptation / Net Zero
We have selected these key areas mainly due to the amount of work that has already happened across Norfolk and Suffolk and also as they tie in very nicely with work already underway at many of the education providers – so hopefully this means we can enhance what is already happening in our region.
With cross cutting themes of:
- Workforce Digital Skills
- Soft Skills
