We are working to revamp the region’s skills system, simplifying access to training initiatives and creating a culture of lifelong learning that encourages individuals to continually develop new skills. While our work focuses on bringing employers together with training providers, we also support individual learners with access to skills and training resources as well as local employment opportunities, ensuring that the provision of skills in the region is aligned with the key gaps in the workforce.
