Skills Partnerships (Local DSPs) across England to tackle local
digital skills challenges and build thriving and inclusive
regional economies.
There are 8 Local DSPs:
You can read an evaluation
of the first 6 Local DSPs which found them to have had
positive outcomes for local people and communities, local
businesses and public sector partners.
Local DSP Regional Coordinators
The 8 Local DSPs are allocated match funding to employ a Regional
Coordinator to raise awareness of the importance of improved
digital skills across their respective regions.
By working collaboratively with both regional and national
stakeholders, they are developing new innovative models to
improve digital skills across their regions, boost their local
economies and share this best practice with other LEPs and CAs.
Regional Coordinators also have regular monthly contact with
DCMS, this is an opportunity to provide regular policy updates
and make valuable introductions with the private sector and other
government departments.
