Details

This Call aims to enable employers to achieve their growth ambitions by -identifying business training needs, developing and delivering bespoke solutions to address employees’ skills needs and thereby creating a more highly skilled workforce.

This can include support to develop the skills needed to progress at work including leadership and management development, as well as targeting priority sectors where skill shortages persist or forecasts indicate significant growth.

Applications are encouraged from consortia or other similar types of partnership arrangements and the preference is for one programme which must deliver across the whole of the Leeds City Region.

To avoid duplication - projects would be expected to work collaboratively with other local providers to minimise fragmentation in delivery and identify the best overall solution for participants. In particular, proposals must demonstrate how they will align with and engage the Leeds City Region LEP Growth and Skills Service in the delivery of the programme.
