Funded by the Department of Education, the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) is a government initiative of which the primary purpose is to address the skills gap between education and the skills needed by the local labour market. We do this by working closely with Further Education (FE) providers, engaging effectively with local leaders and stakeholders, forging a stronger and more dynamic partnership.

Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce and Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce are the Designated Lead for the development of the LSIP for our region and are looking for significant engagement from the business community.
