FAQ's

What is the Local Skills Improvement Plan?

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. The goal is to ensure businesses and people have the skills they need to thrive and progress.

In September 2022, Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Black Country Chambers of Commerce and the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce partnered to secure the delivery of the West Midlands Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP).

The West Midlands LSIP will provide an agreed set of priorities that employers, providers and stakeholders in the region can get behind to drive change. The purpose of the West Midlands LSIP is to place employers at the heart of local skills systems, facilitate direct and dynamic working arrangements between employers and providers and ultimately shape the future of skills provision across the region for years to come.
