Adopting a data-led approach to sector workforce development that supports employers' needs.

Our local skills project brings together employers, education providers, and employability-focused organisations to identify the key skills improvements, workforce challenges and priorities through local skills action plans.

The goal is to ensure the sector can deliver health, economic, and social benefits to our nation by:

• Ensuring local colleges, universities, and training providers offer education and training that matches what employers need.
• Provide employers with the skilled workforce they need to offer inclusive opportunities which meet the needs of diverse local communities and drive business success.
• Give people who work in the sector great career pathways.
