As we develop the LSIP, we are building links with the Unit for Future Skills, who are linked to the DfE. They are also providing skills data to support decision-making. Their work currently covers:

1. Improving the coverage and timeliness of skills data and labour market projections.
2. Structuring and improving access to data, with a local skills dashboard which provides access to up-to-date information.
3. Providing insights to enable learning, which include labour market “horizon scanning” and case studies.

Over the next six months, they will be analysing occupations in demand; investigating supply and demand of science, technology and computing skills; publishing a Career Pathways Dashboard and publishing research on new methodologies for future job projections. We will share headlines and feed detail into the Sector Deep Dives.
