Description
Liverpool City Region area only.
The Association of Liverpool City Region Colleges (AoLCRC), alongside stakeholders including Greater Merseyside Learning Providers' Federation, is working together to build the capacity and capability of the region's FES sector to respond to the priorities of the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP).
A series of coherent and inter-linked projects, all designed to address LSIP priorities, were designed and developed. These then formed part of a request to the Department for Education for Local Skills Improvement Funding (LSIF).
The request for funding was successful and work commenced during the 2023-24 financial year. The LSIF programme of activities is structured around 6 core thematic or project ideas:
• Project 1: Building for the Future - Green technologies & Digitalisation.
• Project 2: New Skills for Net Zero
• Project 3: LCR Talent Bank & Career Pathways
• Project 4: New Pathways to Learning
• Project 5: Creating the Region's Freeport Academy
• Project 6: Building Employer Partnership
The LSIF funding will provide both revenue and capital funding and will facilitate, amongst other things, new curriculum development as well as the purchase of new equipment to support the delivery of training to meet the emerging needs of employers and the local economy.
Please arrange for enquiries & completed EOI applications to be sent to colcbusiness@liv-coll.ac.uk (see attachments to this notice). Closing date: Friday 23rd August 2024 at 5.00pm.
