Your chance to join the HEY LSIP Board and influence the skills system for our local area!

This exciting phase will build upon the success, achievements and progress to date and will continue to deliver on the priorities identified in the first phase, whilst also developing LSIP 2.0, with now a stronger focus in expanding employer engagement. It will also be a priority for us to work collaboratively with the Hull and East Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (HEYCA) in helping deliver skills and growth strategies for the region.

The main purpose of the HEY LSIP Board is to oversee and support the successful development and subsequent delivery of the LSIP to meet local employer and economic needs. Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to: guiding the strategy and content of the LSIP; working collaboratively with the project team, employers, and stakeholders; and ensuring the LSIP is employer-led. In addition we will be providing vital insight for Skills England - supporting its three strategic pillars of improving their understanding of the nation’s skills needs, simplifying access to skills provision, and mobilising employers and other partners in co-creating solutions to meet national, regional and local skills needs.

Within our current LSIP we are focusing on our five key themes of: technical skills (within Agri Skills, Construction, Engineering Construction, Health & Social Care and Manufacturing); educational teaching professionals; employability skills & behaviours; careers guidance; and accessibility. Full details can be found via our website: www.heylsip.com .

We are now commencing the development of LSIP 2.0, which will replace the current LSIP in the summer of 2026. The key aims of the HEY LSIP moving forward can be outlined as:

• Supporting economic growth by addressing skill needs within an area required to meet the skills sector priorities set out by HEYCA and local priorities identified by employers.
• Facilitate the active engagement of employers in the skills system, through giving them a stronger voice in shaping skills provision, and investment in skills training.
• Bring about a change in the supply of skills provision at all levels up to and including level 8.
• Inform how funding could be used to support skills priorities within an area.

We are therefore inviting employers within Hull & East Yorkshire to get involved and help shape HEY LSIP activity moving forward. We want to ensure our HEY LSIP Board is inclusive of employers across all sectors, key stakeholders, Further Education Providers, Higher Education Providers and Independent Training Providers. If any of the above interests you, and you would like to be more involved, then please do complete our application form on the next page for our consideration.
