Having a workforce with key employment skills- core competencies, behaviours, attitudes, and technical and vocational skills has helped to make the South East Midlands economy thrive.
Securing these employability skills, at appropriate attainment levels, brings a positive social impact. It opens doors to opportunities, provides financial security for individuals, families and communities which, in turn, leads to prosperity and buoyancy in the local economy.
The ‘Growing People’ Skills Plan focuses on lifelong skills development. Working with partners across all stages and pathways of education and employment, the Plan sets out how we will develop the talent pipeline and opportunity for individuals and employers in the South East Midlands.
