Skills 360 Board

Coast to Capital – Skills 360˚ Board

Introduction

The Skills 360˚ Board provides direction and strategic support for the delivery of our ambitious Strategic Economic Plan, Gatwick 360˚, specifically the actions within Priority 4: Create Skills for the Future, where we seek to boost the productivity of our economy by giving people the skills they need to secure and maintain high quality jobs.

Skills Advisory Panels

The Skills 360˚ Board will act as the Skills Advisory Panel for the Coast to Capital area, bringing together employers and skills providers to understand and address key local skills challenges, with the aim of developing evidence based analysis to advise and support providers to deliver the skills required by employers.

This will be achieved by ensuring SAPs have strong governance arrangements and meaningful analytical capability to:

generate analysis of their local skills and labour markets to understand the local position
discuss and agree local skills needs priorities in the short-term and more longer-term
consider how these will be met through local provision over time
support the production of strong ‘people pillar’ section of Local Industrial Strategies

Membership

In accordance with the requirements set out by government for the Skills Advisory Panels, the Skills 360˚ Board will be made up of private business and public sector representatives, the Chief Executive Officer of Coast to Capital and representatives from the education sector and the community and voluntary sector.
