The Sussex Chamber of Commerce Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) team has released their 2024/25 Business and Education & Skills Provider surveys, which form part of their yearly data refresh. They are asking all interested #Businesses and #Education & #Skills #Providers to complete their relevant survey by *31st December*. Links to complete surveys below... "This is the third annual survey specifically for #Education and #Skills #Providers across Sussex," reports the LSIP team. "The survey is part of the Sussex LSIP #AnnualDataRefresh, where we ask providers across the area about the work they undertake with employers, the types of provision they offer and the #challenges and #barriers they face in delivering skills in the local area." "We also ask for details on what providers feel are the #Top3 priorities for the LSIP and local skills system and what initiatives and programmes they deliver that directly align with the LSIP's Future Skills #SussexImprovementFramework." "All the responses are then analysed and compared with the previous years responses to gain trend information and see how the situation in Sussex is changing over time." "Not only does this survey analyse help with the LSIP intelligence for our #FuturePlanning and our #AnnualProgressReport (see link below) but it is shared with local strategic bodies, skills groups and sector bodies." "Also, it importantly supports the LSIP Team in our conversations with government departments (Department for Education, Skills England, Department for Culture, Media and Sport, etc) on the needs of providers across Sussex and the good practice that is taking place in the area." "Thank you in advance." 💻 To complete the business survey, please click: https://lnkd.in/egmuzXbn 💻 To complete the Education & Skills provider survey, please click: https://lnkd.in/ef7YwpWY https://lnkd.in/eS8BhuAJ
