Project updates

A Kent-based partnership has completed the first part of its task to help develop a blueprint for skills to support the growth of local firms.

The project has now completed it’s mobilisation phase and we are now progressing our engagement with key Stakeholder groups and Employer Representative Bodies.

Kent companies now have more opportunity than ever to influence the local skills agenda, after a Chamber and Further Education partnership has been appointed one of eight national trailblazers by the Government.

We need to understand your skills challenges, so as a pilot area, we can implement a new skills system fit for the future of your business.

There is universal agreement that only through a collaborative and joined up approach we will generate a plan that truly recognises the skills needs, and more importantly, some of the solutions that colleges, universities and providers will need to implement to address these.

Take a look at all of the Local Skills Improvement Plan trailblazers.
