Thanks to funding from the Department for Education and partners, the cost for the day is just £10.

In an exceptionally tight labour market, and with an urgency to getting our economy back to growth, setting up our skills system for success is more important than ever.

The London Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) will play a key role in tackling technical skills shortages. It will bring employers and educators together to ensure training matches West London’s labour market needs.

West London Business and West London Alliance are responsible for the sub-region’s “annex” to the London LSIP. This will be an employer-led, data driven plan to match skills and training provision to employer needs locally. Funded and backed by the Department for Education, London’s LSIP will align training providers to support employers to upskill staff and fill vacancies.

The summit is fully catered for an all-day event: breakfast, lunch and drinks reception, with three-and-a-half hours of networking time with fellow employers.
