Help us shape future skills and investment across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland

Shaping the Future of the East Midlands

Businesses across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland are being encouraged to help shape the future workforce through the 2026–2029 Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP).

Developed through extensive consultation with employers, education providers and regional stakeholders, the plan aims to ensure local skills provision reflects the needs of a rapidly changing economy. Employer insight will help colleges, universities and training providers deliver the skills, training and talent businesses need to grow.

The Plan’s Five Priorities

  • Working together to identify future skills needs
  • Preparing learners for the world of work
  • Strengthening digital and AI skills
  • Developing green skills to support Net Zero
  • Creating a more flexible and inclusive skills system

The LSIP will continue to be driven by employer engagement, giving businesses an ongoing opportunity to influence training provision and curriculum development across the region. The more businesses that get involved, the greater the impact they can have on shaping the future workforce.

The plan is supported by education and training providers across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, including Leicester College, Loughborough College Group, De Montfort University, the University of Leicester, Loughborough University, North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College, and Wyggeston and Queen Elizabeth I Sixth Form College.
