Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce is proud to be the designated employer representative body for the Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP).

The Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) is an initiative funded by the Department for Education. LSIPs are a key part of achieving the aim set out initially in the Skills for Jobs whitepaper, which looked to put employers more firmly at the heart of the skills system.

This is an exciting opportunity for the Chamber to bring together a wide range of employers with education and training providers, as well as other local stakeholders, to set out the key priorities and changes needed in the local area to help ensure post-16 technical education and training is more closely aligned to employer and local labour market needs.
