Purpose
The HEY LEP Skills Network will bring together key agencies, stakeholders and delivery partners to collaborate on the employment and skills agenda in the Hull and East Yorkshire area.
The Network will be used to cascade information about the LEP’s skills delivery, taking into account supply and demand intelligence. Consult on key topics and involve providers in its activity.
The Network provides a forum for agencies involved in all aspects of employment, skills and education in Hull and East Yorkshire to meet to share information and good practice.
Working Arrangements
Meetings of the HEY LEP Skills Network will take place on a quarterly basis. A regular newsletter is also sent to the Network with key information on events, funding opportunities and news from the sector.
