Regional Skills Partnership

The National Skills Strategy 'Realizing Our Potential', July 2003 invited each Regional Development Agency (RDA) to lead on the establishment of Regional Skills Partnerships (RSPs).

These partnerships bring together the RDAs, The Learning and Skills Councils (LSC), Jobcentre Plus, with other regional partners. Their remit is to agree on how the delivery of adult skills, workforce development, business support and labour market services can be made mutually reinforcing in providing the best support for Regional Economic Strategies.

The Mayor's new London Skills and Employment Board (LSEB) replaces these arrangements and a new stakeholder forum will be established to help inform the debate in the capital.
