People and Work
We have been actively working with business, education and training providers to reform the labour market and tackle the skills shortages. Attracting and retaining people with the right skills is crucial for businesses.
The LSIP team at Sussex Chamber are delighted to publish our first annual progress report for Future Skills Sussex, the Local Skills Improvement Plan for the area. The report details which of the actions/changes set out in the LSIP have been achieved; what the impact and benefits of the changes have been; and what still needs to be achieved.
The report includes a range of updated labour market and data analysis annexes to support stakeholders in understanding the skills needs and skills supply across Sussex

Future Skills Sussex
Sussex Chamber is pleased to have launched the new Sussex Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) website – Future Skills Sussex. Bridging the skills gap – A new dynamic for business, education and skills. Linking local action with national strategy.
LSIPs have spearheaded one of the biggest shake-ups around skills and business needs in recent times. Diverse businesses and employers across Sussex, many of whom had never engaged in conversation with training providers before, have spoken loudly and clearly to create a Sussex-wide action plan with clear priorities needed for change. All LSIP-related information, resources, activities, news and events are available on our skills website.

Boosting Skills: Journey through education and work:
To grow our economy we need more skilled, engaged and motivated people to contribute to the workforce in every part of the UK. In recent years, however, we have had record levels of job vacancies. Employers have experienced a shortage of job candidates and a mismatch of skills on offer. It’s had a damaging impact on firms’ ability to fulfil order books, take on new work and operate profitably. Find out how the Accredited Chambers of Commerce are working to connect employers to skills and people to jobs.
