Skills Advisory Panel
Improving skills in the North East workforce is fundamental to our economic future. We aim to meet the needs of each and every person living in our area. Through our Skills Advisory Panel, we’re working to understand our region’s current and future skills needs and labour market challenges. The Panel includes representatives from the North East LEP, the North East Combined Authority and North of Tyne Combined Authority, universities, colleges and local businesses.
