Sub-regional and local Employment and Skills Boards

Employment and Skills Boards (ESBs) were first mentioned in the Leitch report on skills in 2007. Since then 12 ESBs have developed or are under development across the South West. These boards are chaired by business leaders and champion employment and skills needs for their localities.

The RESB has a new ESB Standing Group to support ESBs to network and share best practice. It will also be important to ensure that local businesses employment and skills needs are heard, understood and acted on by regional partners.
