Local Skills Improvement Fund
The LCR LSIP highlights the need for short, intensive courses as a priority, shorter even than Skills Bootcamps. It also identifies several key areas that employers are experiencing skills shortages, including carbon reduction and digitalisation. The Local Skills Improvement Fund, set aside to deliver the LSIP priorities, has enabled the development of several short courses to address the requirement for carbon reduction/renewable energy skills development.
GMLPF alongside the Association of Liverpool City Region Colleges, local colleges and through other organisations such as AELP and the Northern Skills Network is looking to promote the development of these programmes and find ways to support the mainstreaming of such courses.
Over the coming year there will be further work and some opportunities for learning providers to get more involved in the programme. We will use this site to promote those opportunities, some of which will be of interest to members.

The LSIP points to a shortage in renewable energy skills and other carbon reduction skills, reported by employers in the Liverpool City Region. The six FE colleges in the region have collaborated to develop five modular courses to address this skills gap. These courses are short and are designed to fit around a work schedule or as a bolt-on to another programme such as an apprenticeship.

If you are interested in incorporating any of these courses as features on one of your training programmes, please contact us.
