Details
This call seeks applications that will deliver an employer-led approach to undertake a range of activities to improve the labour market relevance of skills provision for New Anglia’s key sectors. It builds on the Sector Skills Development Call which was launched in the New Anglia LEP area in September 2019 and which attracted considerable interest and a large number of applications.
Successful projects applying to this Call will show how the priorities identified in the Sector Skills Plans and Cross-cutting report will be delivered through their projects in the light of the new challenges faced. Successful projects may address the particular priorities identified in a single skills plan or by a relevant sector group, or may take a more cross-cutting approach, delivering against the needs identified in more than one plan. Projects may address a single ESF Investment Priority or combine outputs and results, from priority 2.1 and priority 2.2.
