FSB launches Local Skills Improvement Plan

The Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) is a major new project being led by the Federation of Small Businesses to review and realign skills supply and demand across Greater Lincolnshire & Rutland.

This Department for Education initiative will lead to shifts in the type and level of skills available to local employers. It will also affect change in how some post-16 technical skills and training are delivered.

The range, availability, and level of key workforce skills, plus work readiness, has been a significant challenge and frustration for Lincolnshire’s employers for many years, so this project is our collective chance to make the right changes.

A roadshow of free employer focus groups right across the area during Q4 2022 and Q1 of 2023 the Sleaford focus group will take place on Tuesday 17 January 10am -12:30pm. Book your place now.
