Skills gaps, Recruitment, Training and Growth
To support the launch of The South Midlands Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) 2.0, alongside the Northamptonshire Business Exhibition on 24th September at the Mercure Hotel in Northampton we are hosting an event at 10:30 which will bring together key stakeholders from across our region.
Businesses across the South Midlands are struggling to recruit and develop people with the skills they need to grow. Tackling this challenge requires employers, education providers, local authorities and support organisations to work together.
This event will introduce the South Midlands Local Skills Improvement Plan 2.0 and explore how the region can move from identifying skills gaps to delivering practical, coordinated action.
Attendees will learn about the priorities within LSIP 2.0, what they mean for local employers and the support available to help businesses recruit new talent, develop their workforce and prepare for future skills needs.
The session will also cover funded programmes and employment initiatives, including:
T Levels
Skills Bootcamps
Apprenticeships
Access to Work
Connect to Work
WorkWell
Sector-based Work Academy Programmes
Jobs Guarantee Scheme
Whether you are facing recruitment challenges, investing in staff development or want to help shape the region’s future workforce, this event will provide useful information, practical support and valuable connections.
