South Yorkshire Skills Seminar

We’re excited to invite you to the South Yorkshire Skills Seminar, where we’ll be launching the draft of the new Local Skills Improvement Plan.

This is a unique opportunity for businesses, training providers, and key stakeholders to come together and have a real say in the skills priorities that will shape our region’s workforce.

At this event, you’ll:

• See the draft LSIP first-hand and explore the proposals that will guide skills development in South Yorkshire.
• Share your views and experiences so the final plan reflects the needs of local businesses and learners.
• Engage directly with SYMCA, the commissioner leading the LSIP, and work alongside providers and other businesses to identify opportunities for collaboration.

Whether your business is looking to upskill staff, attract new talent, or influence future training provision, this seminar is your chance to help shape a skills system that works for everyone.

Alongside the discussions, there will be opportunities to network with industry peers and policymakers, learn from what others are doing, and explore practical ways to work together to strengthen South Yorkshire’s workforce.

Don’t miss this chance to make your voice heard and help shape the future of skills in our region. Come ready to contribute, connect, and collaborate!
