THEMALVERN SKILLS GUIDE 2019 MALVERN HILLS

THE PEOPLE. THE CAREERS. THE WORKFORCE.

1 MALVERNWelcome to HILLS The Skills Guide 2019 This is the second year that Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and Worcestershire County Council have developed these guides to the local skills network. We’ve created these documents to help provide local students and parents with a greater understanding of the academic opportunities and employment opportunities available in Worcestershire. Our reports provide a wealth of information from all six district areas in Worcestershire, with a summary of the top industry sectors and the largest employers in each area. With our knowledge of the local employment trends and the skills that businesses require to continue their growth, we are able to help younger generations to understand what the jobs of the future will look like and require. Gary Woodman The Skills Guide forms part of the work carried out by the Worcestershire LEP’s Careers Hub team, which helps to Chief Executive bring together our county’s businesses with local schools and colleges. By working together with employers, schools Worcestershire LEP and colleges in their careers advice and planning, we aim to ensure that our younger generations will have the relevant skills for the future needs of local business. To help further improve the education of our younger people, we’ve launched a campaign for ‘Creating our Future Workforce’. The campaign aims to tackle the county’s skills gap and support businesses to get involved with developing Worcestershire’s skilled workforce of the future, by working more closely together with educational establishments. Businesses of all sizes in Worcestershire are getting involved with ‘Creating our Future Workforce’ through a variety of pathways, whether it’s attending assembly talks at schools, supporting young people with mock interviews and CV workshops, or offering a young person a work experience or internship opportunity. We are encouraging more businesses to help play their part in this campaign and to email [email protected] to find out more. For more information on Worcestershire’s latest skills support and initiatives, I would encourage you to visit our Skills 4 Worcestershire website www.skills4worcestershire.co.uk
