York & North Yorkshire LEP Plan for Skills 2021-2026

The York & North Yorkshire LEP vision is ambitious: we want to become England’s first carbon negative, circular economy that increases productivity and provides higher paid jobs.

We believe we will achieve this by working together for a greener, fairer, stronger economy.

Please join us for our annual Skills Conference 2021 as we present our 5 year skills strategy.

York & North Yorkshire LEP ‘Plan for Skills 2021-2026’ - Empowering people for a greener, fairer, stronger economy

While we continue to respond to the ongoing crisis, working on our plan to reshape the economy, we must have a focus on empowering our people with the skills to achieve their potential in a greener, fairer, stronger economy.

Our 5 year skills strategy, based on prior consultations with partners, addresses where we are now, and puts us on the road to where we want to be by 2026.

We’re having to do things a little bit differently this year with a digital event, but we’ve lined up a stimulating couple of hours’ worth of content.

You will hear from our keynote speakers who will talk with authority and passion about why ‘greener, fairer, stronger’ is so important and how we can work together to achieve this.
