This project has a particular focus of improving Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) knowledge and understanding in businesses to improve workforce skills and practices to recruit and retain staff.

Our aim was to delve deeper into the realms of Equalities, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) within the local business community to research and report on examples of good practice in local businesses.

Also included are recommendations and next steps for organisations who attended the event, or have an interest in the Recruiting & Retaining a Diverse Workforce main report.

The LSIP team have now finalised this research and report as a key action within the LSIP Intelligence theme of the Future Skills Sussex Improvement Framework to "Build a picture of existing programmes to support people with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) and those from disadvantaged groups into employment within key sectors".

Also included are recommendations and next steps for organisations who attended the event, or have an interest in the Inclusive Pathways to Employment main report.

The Learner Focus Project report contains background, key findings and suggested actions from a short project that was undertaken due to a gap we identified in our intelligence during the development of the LSIP report. Throughout the LSIP process we have spoken to employers and providers but had not yet engaged with learners. The aim was to undertake a series of workshops with learners and adults seeking employment in order to hear their views on employability skills and future employment.

Sussex Skills Taxonomy is a tool that has been developed by NESTA working in partnership with Future Skills Sussex during the LSIP Trailblazer in 2022. The skills taxonomy demonstrates the skills required for job roles across Sussex.

This careers resource provides a visual of the skills that are related to a particular job role within a sector.

The skills taxonomy was put together as part of a wider project undertaken by NESTA for an Open Jobs Obsertavory for Sussex during the Sussex LSIP Trailblazer process in 2022. For the full report see here.

This Impact Meassures document provides information on how the LSIP will measure evidence for the annual LSIP Progress Reports to be procuded in June 2024 and June 2025.

The matrix has been produced with support from our core partners. It aims to provide a comprehensive resource of existing employer led "conversations" and "intelligence" relating to all things skills and workforce development, across the whole of the Sussex area.

We hope the matrix will support local education providers, employers, and strategic leaders to access skills intelligence sources, gain an understanding of the skills conversations landscape and to help identify opportunities for collaboration and sharing of resources.

The LSIF project's Immersive Classroom offers students, local residents, and businesses the chance to explore realistic working environments and cutting-edge technologies that would otherwise be inaccessible without traveling beyond the college.

This project supports both the Offer Theme and Conversations Theme priorities and action within the Future Skills Sussex Improvement Framework.

This pioneering initiative, utilising virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance soft skills training.

This provision is flexible, responsive, accessible, and includes online courses, events, evening workshops, modular courses, hybrid programmes, webinars, and VR activity.

The colleges involved in the project have developed the provision in response to the LSIP priorities and actions under the Innovation Theme of the Future Skills Sussex Improvement Framework.

The app will also focus specifically on the Sussex region rather than UK-wide, promoting vacancies within the sectors crucial to the future economic success of the area and which the Future Skills Sussex LSIP report identifies. Also see the resource on the Landed app for more details
