Regional Skills Partnership (RSP) Conference

Speakers provoked discussions surrounding; Regional Skills Partnerships in a Global Economy and The Role of Regional Skills Partnerships.

RSPs are about effective partnership working. A key starting point for partnership working is sharing a common understanding of the issues that we face. RSPs have a crucial role in working towards this common understanding of the challenges and potential solutions or ways forwards There is a great deal that we can learn from the research and academic communities. Both the academic and practitioner and policy making communities are familiar with criticism about not reaching out to listen to or to inform the other. We are delighted that an event like this, about bringing two communities together, to provide RSPs with a common starting point in their understanding of the skills challenges regions face and what they might be able to do to address these issues.
