Description

The Association of Liverpool City Region Colleges (AoLCRC), alongside stakeholders including Greater Merseyside Learning Providers' Federation, is working together to build the capacity and capability of the region's FES sector to respond to the priorities of the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP). A series of coherent and inter-linked projects, all designed to address LSIP priorities, were developed, and successful in application to the Department for Education for Local Skills Improvement Funding (LSIF). The LSIF funding provides both revenue and capital funding and will facilitate, amongst other things, new curriculum development as well as the purchase of new equipment to support the delivery of training to meet the emerging needs of employers and the local economy. Project 1: Building for the future - Green Technologies and Digitalisation focuses upon investment in equipment and training facilities that will support curriculum development, reskilling and upskilling in digitalisation and low carbon (net zero) technologies. Investment in a range of equipment and facilities will allow providers to offer training that aligns directly with industry demands, particularly those articulated through the LSIP The City of Liverpool College, working in conjunction with Greater Merseyside Learning Providers' Federation, now wishes to receive Expressions of Interest from local Independent Training Providers for capital investment (investment in equipment) from the LSIF.
