Here is some background and the details:
FSB Cornwall & Isles of Scilly is continuing to lead the Local Skills Improvement Plan on behalf of Skills England and again, we are working in close partnership, with Cornwall Council. Our role is to drive real change by tackling gaps in skills provision, improving access to support, and increasing awareness of local training. We are developing a practical, employer-led plan, and it is vital that it reflects real business experience.
The plan is set in statute, which means the actions it sets out must be delivered. To make sure it leads to meaningful outcomes, we need employers to share evidence of the skills challenges they face, including issues with recruiting people who have the right skills and behaviours to help their business grow and adapt. We want to understand what holds you back now and what support you will need in the future.
The Local Skills Improvement Plan is about action, not paperwork. By working directly with employers and testing what works in practice, we can identify the right actions, backed by government, that will make a genuine difference to businesses across the area.
