Local Authorities Play a Critical Role in Local Skills Planning
LSIPs Are Three-Year Plans to Align Training Provision to Employer Needs
A Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) is a three-year plan developed by an Employer Representative Body (ERB) for a specific area in England.
It aims to achieve a better performing local skills system. One that brings together employers, businesses, education and training providers and local government to address current and future skills needs.
Funded by the Department for Education (DfE), LSIPs aim to align post-16 technical education and training provision with the current and future skills needs of local employers and the wider economy.
