The LSEB aims to create a strategy which reflects the capital’s skills needs.  It will then recommend allocation of budgets to ensure appropriate provision of skills training.  Breakfast consultations in the new year will look at the higher level skills needs which most are agreed are essential to the future of businesses across London.   Higher Education Institutions will be asked to deliver against the new agenda.  Higher Education Careers Services, acting as they do as the conduit between HE and employers, can offer a unique insight into higher level skills shortages and practical remedies. What a pity that the LSEB has no representation from Higher Education Careers Services.
