The Enterprise M3 Skills Advisory Panel (SAP) meets every two months and brings together senior representatives from employers, training providers, not-for-profit organisations, local authorities, universities and colleges in the area.
They work together to pool knowledge on skills and labour market needs, and to understand and address key local challenges. The EM3 Panel will have a critical role in overseeing the successful development and implementation of the Skills Action Plan. Skills Advisory Panels are run by LEPs with funding from the Department of Education.
To maximise the inclusivity and diversity of contributions the EM3 SAP operates a “carousel” of members, so that not every member attends every meeting; but every member is kept informed. The full list of current members is as follows:
