Digital businesses are invited to help shape the future of training and skills provision within the County. The Digital Sector Employer Group provides a valuable opportunity for networking with other businesses in the digital sector and engaging in discussions about the challenges facing the industry in the County.
The group has been working on the development of the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) which is set to transform skills provision for the sector in the county. Â This meeting will review the LSIP plans and monitor progress towards achieving them.
What is the LSIP?
Buckinghamshire Business First (BBF) was appointed by the Department for Education to be the designated Employer Representative Body (ERB) for Buckinghamshire and develop the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP).
This is a major government initiative intended to reshape post-16 education and training across England, with LSIPs part of the government’s approach to reshaping the technical skills system in England.

The work that has been done by the Digital group so far has contributed greatly to how the LSIP has taken shape.
Now, this digital employer meeting will be the first to get started on the implementation of the Local Skills Improvement Plan.
