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.

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.
Our priorities for change
Support employers in Sussex to recruit, retain and upskill their workforce.
Ensure a joined-up approach to meeting the skills needs in Sussex as identified by local businesses.
Build a profile for and raise awareness of the key sectors in Sussex.
Ensure training and employment in Sussex is open and accessible to all.
Speak with one voice in Sussex to influence national and local policy using an evidence-based approach.
Future Skills Sussex Improvement Framework
To deliver on our priorities, we have created the Future Skills Sussex Improvement Framework which provides a whole system approach to collaboration. The Framework consists of five themes which are interdependent and rely on partnership working for their success.
