Details

SEMLEP is a high-growth economy with Gross Value Added (GVA) currently standing at some £50bn, up from c.£45bn in 2010. The area includes some highly productive economies; for example, Milton Keynes has the fifth highest GVA per worker of all British cities. With such a dynamic economy some South East Midlands businesses are already reporting difficulties in finding employees with the skills that they need. SEMLEP want to change this by delivering an employer-led approach to skills development, provision and labour market information, producing a talent pipeline which will involve effective and ongoing engagement between businesses and educators.
