Join employers, skills providers and local stakeholders for the Lancashire Local Skills Improvement Plan Conference.
With a packed schedule of speakers to be announced, the LSIP Conference will provide an overview of what has been achieved to tackle employers' skills needs and what is still to come.
This one-off event at the Brockholes Nature Reserve in the heart of Lancashire will bring together people who have informed the LSIP of the county's skills priorities and those who are working to deliver on those important needs.
