Who We Are

WE ARE A PARTNERSHIP OF 23 FURTHER, HIGHER AND ADULT EDUCATION PROVIDERS, 9 LOCAL AUTHORITIES, AND A PANEL OF LOCAL EMPLOYERS AND OTHER KEY STAKEHOLDERS. TOGETHER, WE AIM TO INFLUENCE AND SHAPE GREEN AND DIGITAL EMPLOYMENT AND SKILLS PROVISION, BOTH NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.

We are part of the bigger Local London network, which represents nine London boroughs and is committed to catalysing growth across north east and south east London. 

We want to drive job creation as the UK transitions to a greener and more digitised economy, and put ‘local’ at the heart of the devolution agenda for skills. 

Our list of college, local authority and employer partners can be found here. 

Our partnership is supported by £6.5 million from the Government’s Local Skills Improvement Fund, which was awarded to us in November 2023. This grant allows our area to respond to the priorities identified by employers in the Local Skills Improvement Plan for Local London.

This work is being further supported by the Greater London Authority’s Mayor’s Skills Academies Programme. This collaborates with 11 colleges, nine London boroughs and over 30 employers to help achieve the Mayor’s ambitious net-zero targets and improve the green and digital curriculum offer across the capital.

Our partnership was previously a recipient of the Department for Education’s Strategic Development Fund. This provided us with £2.4 million of investment to reshape teaching and training provision, and update training facilities in preparation for the rollout of the Local Skills Improvement Plan. A summary report of that project is available here.
