An update on the Local Skill Improvement Plan (LSIP)
Since September 2022, Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce have been working in collaboration with the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority to deliver the region’s Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP). An LSIP is an initiative being rolled out across the nation and is funded by the Department for Education (DfE). It seeks to identify the skills needs of the employers across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and set out the priorities for change. It represents a new business-led and locally owned approach to bringing together employers, education and training providers, as well as other key local stakeholders.
We are truly grateful for the time and input given by employers of all sizes across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. The success of the project has also been a result of the time engagement offered from partners across the region, including:

Business representative organsations
Education and training providers
Third sector and local government organisations
What’s next?
Findings from this work have been collated into a report, which has been submitted for approval to the DfE. We expect to be able to make a copy available on our website around 28th July 2023. But the creation of the plan is just the first part of the process. Moving forward, the Chamber will be working to embed the LSIP within the wider skills system and support the implementation of the changes made moving forward. We will be sharing more information on this very soon, but in the meantime make sure you are signed up to our LSIP mailing list to keep informed (available on the LSIP page on our website).
