Essex Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) progress

LSIP Progress Report 

The LSIP Progress Report will be published in June 2025, following DfE approval and will set out all the work that is underway to deliver against the LSIP Priorities. The report will set out a wealth of work and key achievements, including investments in college facilities, curriculum alignment, events and resources. Just a few examples of progress that will be captured in the report are: 

- New buildings and facilities completed
- Employer toolkit published
- Sector Insights developed and sector groups established
- ‘Essex Connector’ development and procurement imminent
- Range of courses delivering against the LSIP priorities
- LSIP newsletter developing and circulation increasing
- LSIP web pages revamped with high visit numbers
- Successful Essex Festival of Skills
- Joined up approach in place with new Greater Essex Business Board

The report will also set out the strong collaborative approach that is driving work across Essex and some of the key factors that will influence skills needs in the coming years such as the Lower Thames Crossing and devolution. 

The report will be published in June and will be added to the LSIP web pages.
