The Skills Advisory Group (SAG) is a working group of SELEP. It provides a strategic, joined up, holistic LEP view on skills issues and where possible delivers solutions which may include funding opportunities, new projects and inputs to government such as apprenticeship reforms and area reviews. The Skills advisory group meets on a bi-monthly basis.
Our vision for skills in the South East is to help deliver a flourishing and inclusive economy across the biggest LEP in the country by equipping employers, adults and young people with the skills, conditions and aptitudes required for significant growth today and tomorrow.
The SELEP Skills Strategy, 2018 – 2023, was launched in 2018.
