Working Together to Transform London’s Skills Landscape

Come and join us for the Launch of the 2026 London Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) Report, where we will celebrate the publication of a shared vision for London’s future workforce. Co-developed by BusinessLDN and the Greater London Authority, the London LSIP reflects the collective ambition of employers, providers and partners to shape a more responsive and inclusive skills system. This event will bring together partners and stakeholders, including London’s Sub-Regional Partnerships, to advocate the collaboration that will drive its delivery.

Why Attend?
By attending this event you will gain first-hand insight into London’s 2026 Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) and the priorities shaping the capital’s future workforce. You’ll hear from key stakeholders, while building valuable connections through networking opportunities.

You will leave with a clear understanding of London’s skills priorities, the actions being taken to meet them, and opportunities to collaborate and drive positive change.
