To plan and make the case for education and skills provision that better reflects the needs of local businesses needs robust evidence and engagement.
Education and training providers need to make the case based on need, viability and financial sustainability.
The LSIP Trailblazer evaluation conducted by DfE found strong examples of high-quality employer engagement to inform high-value provision; and increased employer confidence in the responsiveness of the skills system.
