Skills East Sussex is the strategic group that looks at skills policy across E Sussex and is the local skills arm of the South East LEP. The minutes of the last meeting show that the group is very keen to ensure that local training provision can meet the current and future skills needs of employers. As a result sector sub groups have been created to enable providers and employers to meet and develop training provision and the group has approved the curriculum plans of colleges and independent providers who have submitted them, where it is felt that provision is meeting business needs.
