Derbyshire Employment and Skills Board

The development of the Derbyshire Employment and Skills Board is to provide a cohesive framework for an overarching Employment and Skills Strategy for Derby and Derbyshire. The Derbyshire Employment and Skills Board will identify the skill needs in the key business sectors and ensure employers have the opportunity to influence and benefit how to get what they really want from publicly funded education and training services. It will do this by bringing together public sector agencies who have a role in meeting employer skills needs and then tackling these needs head on.

Overall the aim of the Derbyshire Employment and Skills Board will be to bring together partners to support employers recruit the people they need, help individuals gain good jobs to ensure economic prosperity and achieve a better quality of life.

The Derbyshire Employment and Skills Board will ensure effective co-ordination of the plans of the Derby Jobs and Skills Group and The Alliance Employment and Skills Board to make sure that links are made, avoid duplication and create the most appropriate solutions for the county.

This Employment and Skills Board will be the Employment Skills and Productivity partnerships delivery vehicle for the sub region /county and is in response to the recommendations following Leitch Review of Skills: (HM Treasury, Leitch Review of Skills, 'Prosperity for all in the global economy - world class skills', Final Report, 5th December 2006).

The project has been awarded £331,140 by DDEP.
