Cumbria is one of eight pilot areas in England to benefit from a new initiative called Local Skills Improvement Plans (LSIPs).  In Cumbria the LSIP is being led by the Cumbria Chamber of Commerce.  LSIPs are employer-led and locally owned, with the eight pilots testing how employer-led skills planning and shaping can best be delivered in practice.  LSIPs will provide a clear, robust and meaningful outline of local employer skills needs and set out the priority changes needed to help deliver the skills employers need to operate successfully and boost productivity, plus help individuals to get good jobs and progress their careers.
