Details

The document sets the amount of local skills improvement funds awarded to collaborations of further education colleges and training providers in each area of England.  

The purpose of the funding is to enable further education providers to respond to the skill priorities set out in the local skills improvement plan (LSIP) for their area.

The funding covers 2 financial years:

  • 2023 to 2024
  • 2024 to 2025

Employer representative bodies (ERBs) were designated to lead the work to develop an LSIP for each area of England. A designated ERB means an eligible body that has been designated by the Secretary of State to lead the development of a local skills improvement plan for a specified area.  

There are 38 LSIP areas, covering the whole of England. LSIF allocations align to the respective LSIP boundary, except for Greater London, which has been split into 4 sub-areas. The plan for each area, and information on the ERB leading on its delivery, is available at Local skills improvement plans and employer representative bodies.
