Event details

The Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) is a critical new project being led by FSB to assess and realign skills supply and demand across Greater Lincolnshire & Rutland.

This Department for Education initiative will lead to shifts in the type and level of skills available to local employers. It will also affect change in how some post-16 technical skills and training are delivered.

The range, availability and level of key workforce skills, plus work readiness, has been a significant challenge and frustration for Lincolnshire’s employers for many years, so this is our collective chance to make the right changes. This is not a talking shop – we will generate real action through the LSIP which will benefit all local employers.

The views of employers of all sizes, sectors and locations across Greater Lincolnshire & Rutland must heavily influence the changes the report will recommend to local training provision. We aim to generate thousands of responses to our research calls – we hope we can include your business in our research.

If you are an employer of any size, from any sector within Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland, please book your place on this - or any of the other virtual or face-to-face session from this series - to help inform our research on this most important issue.

You will take part in the virtual focus group via Zoom by answering questions set by our researchers about your business and experience as an employer. It’ll all be very collaborative and friendly and of course, there are no wrong answers. We just want to know your views, needs and frustrations on local skills supply and this online format will allow you to get involved without having to travel.

This event is only open to employers from across Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland, but you can be from anywhere in that area and there is no restriction on your business size or sector, as long as you do employ staff. Numbers are strictly limited due to the format.
