SELEP Skills Legacy

We had 3 groups as part of the SELEP Skills Strategy:

The Skills Advisory Panel (SAP) – an employer-led local partnership, established in October 2019 to strengthen the link between public and private sector employers, local authorities, colleges and universities and to pool knowledge on skills and labour market needs.

The Skills Working Group – provided a strategic, joined up, holistic LEP view on skills issues and where possible delivered solutions which may include funding opportunities, new projects and inputs to government such as apprenticeship reforms and area reviews.

The Digital Skills Partnership – the government is worked with Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and Combined Authorities (CAs) to help establish Local Digital Skills Partnerships (Local DSPs) across the country to tackle local digital skills challenges and build thriving and inclusive local economies.
