For Business. For Growth. For You.

Upskilling your workforce

Local Skills Improvement Plan.

The Chamber is the designated employer representative body for Staffordshire — telling colleges what employers actually need.

What's involved

What you get.

The LSIP is how training provision in the county gets pointed at real demand. We gather evidence from employers and hold providers to it — so the courses being run are the ones that produce the people you are trying to hire.

Your say on provision

Surveys, roundtables and one-to-one conversations that feed straight into the plan colleges are held to.

Sector-level evidence

We aggregate what employers tell us into a published picture of where Staffordshire's skills gaps sit.

Accountability

Providers report against the plan. If provision is not moving, that becomes visible rather than anecdotal.

Next steps

How to get started.

Tell us your hiring and training pain points — a fifteen-minute call is enough to get your sector on the record. Contact the policy team through the Chamber.
