Regional Skills Partnerships
Welsh Government is continuing to work with the four Regional Skills Partnerships (RSPs) to identify regional and sub-regional skills priorities.
RSPs are a pivotal component of the regional skills landscape, providing labour market intelligence to Welsh Government. They are already woven in key policy documents such as the Apprenticeship Plan, Employability Delivery Plan and Net Zero Wales. The intelligence and recommendations they provide at a regional and sub-regional basis, together with other sources of intelligence, are key to informing policy development, the design of our programmes and deployment of skills funding. RSPs are also supporting City Deal and Growth Deals across Wales, acting as strategic partnerships on all matters relating to employability and skills.
The latest Regional Employment and Skills Plans were produced in late 2022.
