Vision
Our vision, and that of our partners, is to work together under one umbrella to support the people and businesses across Sussex, to speak with one voice and make a lasting impact.

Chief Executive, Sussex Chamber of Commerce
The Future Skills Sussex Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) is the result of extensive research and consultation with employers, education and skills providers, strategic partners and wider stakeholders across Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, West Sussex and beyond.
It sets out the Sussex-wide skills challenges, gaps and needs emerging from our findings and has established clear priorities needed for change.
The LSIP report and associated annexes can be found here.
