Hull and Humber Chamber of Commerce has been selected to lead the development and delivery of the region’s Local Skills Improvement Plan.
Education Secretary James Cleverly has designated the role for Hull and East Yorkshire to the business organisation. It is one of 32 chambers to be selected for the role that is backed by a £21 million fund.
Chamber’s LSIP manager, Hannah Crookes, told how skills shortages are regularly highlighted by Humber businesses in economic surveys as a key recruitment issue, and LSIPs aim to put the voice of local employers at the heart of the learning and skills system to build a stronger, more dynamic partnership between employers and further education providers.
