Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP)

Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP)

The Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) is an initiative from DWP that sets out the key priorities needed to make technical education and skills provision more responsive to the changing needs of employers and the local economy by:

• Ensuring a better match between the supply of and demand for the skills employers most need to thrive and boost productivity, as well as helping to drive greater collaboration between providers to realise the benefits of economies of scale and specialisation;
• Making provision more accessible and addressing barriers to progression, especially for the adult workforce, such as driving greater join-up between skills offers, including work programmes; and
• Recognising that improving the supply of skills must be accompanied by demand-side measures that drive greater employer engagement and investment in skills and support potential learners through effective careers guidance.
