Liverpool City Region’s Chambers of Commerce are working together to help give businesses across the Region a voice, and strengthen the relationship between employers and training providers through a Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP).
The Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) identifies and addresses the skills needs of the Liverpool City Region, bridging the gap between employers, education providers, and key stakeholders. Led by designated Employer Representative Bodies (ERBs), LSIPs drive collaboration to prioritise and implement actionable strategies tailored to local skills demands.
The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce oversees the LSIP, working closely with industry, education providers, and partners. Through initiatives like Industry Learning Partnerships (ILPs) and Local Skills Improvement Funds (LSIF), the LSIP promotes workforce development aligned with regional economic growth.
Our Goals:
- Strengthen Collaboration: Engage employers, education providers, and stakeholders to co-create sustainable solutions.
- Bridge Skills Gaps: Align training programs with industry needs across key sectors such as Construction, Manufacturing, Logistics, and Professional Services.
- Empower the Workforce: Address emerging priorities like green skills and digital transformation.
Whether you’re a business looking to shape the future workforce, an educator passionate about making an impact, or a stakeholder eager to drive regional growth, the LSIP offers a platform to make a difference.
Collaborate with us to build a thriving, skilled workforce for the Liverpool City Region. Stay informed about LSIP progress, explore resources, and connect with our team.
